Discussion: I DID IT!
Subject: I DID IT! By: alicia L. Written on: 2006-06-11 22:52:04 Message: I did my first sprint triathlon today! I am totally hooked! My goal was 2 hours and I made it in 2:05! Not too bad for a first timer....My real goal was to just finish! :-) Everything went fine, no major hang ups at all. My goggles did break in the middle of the swim and I watched them sink to the bottom of the lake...oh well! I figured if that was the worst that happened, I was in good shape - especially since I waited til race day for my first open water swim! Thank you all so much for all the help and encouragement on these boards. I am so pumped! I have already signed up for one at the end of July!

I have a few fears with the swim, but have the same goal you had- want to finish in less than 2 hours. Keep up the good work. Susie
