So… this past Saturday I finished my actual first, Olympic distance competitive triathlon. Woo! I will admit that I had vainly hoped to have a more aesthetically appealing body by the end of it, and to me it’s less so. But that’s ridiculous to worry about because I got so much stronger and healthier in the past 4 months of training for it. For someone who’s not been on a bike since childhood, or run EVER, I am feeling pretty happy about things.
Now that it’s behind me, I can start to focus on other projects again. I will keep up on a less rigorous schedule of things, because I fully intend to do another triathlon next year (or sooner) but now that this FIRST one is behind me I hopefully won’t be so consumed by it. I was really kinda stressed out by fear of the unknown previous to actually doing this.

On Saturday June the 28th I did the Escape from Fort Delaware Tri. This was my third time at this event. All I can say is that if it was your first Oly you lucked out with the swim, because its usually very tough. If that’s the event you did and are going to do it again next year, don’t expect such an easiy swim again. Best of luck at the races, Tim
