I completed my very first triathlon. Thank you to Shawn & Kim for your cheers on the bike ride! You gave me a much needed energy boost! Despite an asthma attack in the water at the onset, I actually finished! My times were, well a starting point! 1:40:35. The tri was a 400M swim, a 16K bike, 5K run. I would definately recommend this to anyone as a first triathlon, but... rent a wet suit. The water was cold.
And to The Dominator, I didn't 'leave it all on the course', but thank you for the recommendation! Also, thank you VERY much for your help with the GREAT hand-out and showing me how to set up the transition area. THat was a HUGE help!

Mindy,
Way to go!!!!!!!!! I am proud of you. I am sure you inspired others today with your race. Way to work through the swim, even with an asthma attack. Cold water swims are not very fun, but you did it! Glad to see you even had a smile on your face at the end.
Congratulations Mindy! You did great! Ralph was right, you did inspire people today - I was certainly inspired! Triathlons are amazing events; they take such guts to even enter! Lining up with hundreds other people to swim-bike-run farther than most have ever attempted in any single outing must be daunting. But you pushed yourself hard and did great! With great victories comes great rewards…congratulations, you’re a triathlete! CONGRATULAITONS!
Great job Mindy! I'm glad we could be a part of it and cheer you on! You had the courage to take on a new challenge and meet your goal. No one can take that away from you. Congratulations!
