I'm hooked on tri's, but why does there have to be swimming involved? Great job, though. Being last out of the water (like I was) leaves you lots of people to pass on the bike leg. :) I feel the EXACT SAME WAY. I’m hooked on tri’s, but why does there have to be swimming involved?

That is so cool they had the chilled drink waiting. If you are doing another one, suggestion, leave you clip on shoes clipped to the pedals. It's helps and have you feet out of the shoes before you dismount. Practice. Congrats!!!! Good job!!!! That is so cool they had the chilled drink waiting.

I am impressed. I am just not so crazy to even think about the swimmy thing. There's nothing quite like the smell of wet asphalt in the morning. Grind out those marathon training miles.

Why do bags of beans never have more then 239 beans in them. Because if there was one more they would be two-fortie, get it twofartie? Sorry, that was what came to my mind.

You did well Susan - I'm impressed. By the way, Aussie deserts aren't full of snakes. I've been outback and didn't see one! In fact I've seen less than a dozen snakes in the wild in my whole life.

Even if the swim was tough, you're a triathlete...be careful, it's addicting. The cookies and wine were awesome. I'll have to show my hubby...maybe he can take a hint and bring both to my next tri! :-) Way to go Susan! Even if the swim was tough, you’re a triathlete…be careful, it’s addicting.

Very nice. I don't remember specifying a pony but that's a nice touch! And you got cookies and wine. What a lucky girl. I'm sorry but a woman who does 16+ MPH on the bike doesn't get to claim 'nothing left in the tank' out of the pool. You did great! Like Jeanne said, take 3 swimming lessons and you'll feel so much better about the swim. Mostly what I saw is 'next tri' and that's perfect. Welcome to the crack house.
