It was an olympic distance, but I had a river current to help me on the swim. I finished slower than I wanted to but for being 5'8" 240 lbs and training since april I will take it. I learned a lot now I have to do more than just work out for next year. I have to lose some lbs.

    I trained really hard and it was still not enough. Mile three on the run I was thinking, "Who the hell thinks this is fun? I paid money to do this?!"

    Now that it is over, I learned to much not to do it again.

    LOL They're addictive :bigsmile:

    Race morning I always think "Why am I doing this to myself????"
    As soon as I finish I think "I can't wait to do this again!"
