For a person whose idea of fun is running 26 miles, it surprisingly kicked my ass. If it's OK, I'll share my lessons learned with you:<br />1. 600 yards swim in open water is a LOT longer than you'd think!<br />2. NEVER EVER EVER do a road triathlon on a 20 year old, steel framed mountain bike! I was like a Pug surrounded by Greyhounds. (PWNED!)<br />3. When you get off a bike, somehow it feels like you've forgotten how to run, even if you've been running for 23 years.<br />4. Even though it's fun to blow past 10 or so people in the run, you can't make up a 20 minute bike leg deficit (see #2 above) during a 5K.<br />5. Runners sink more than they swim.<br />6. Even if you've swallowed half the lake, your water will be much needed at the end of the bike.<br />7. After you've done one, you can't wait to do another (even if you got PWNED, see #2 above)howlindawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17697906095454208652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-91235517414035535072011-06-27T11:35:01.195-06:002011-06-27T11:35:01.195-06:00Number 9 is so true, but reading it is so much fun...Number 9 is so true, but reading it is so much funnier than experiencing it!<br /><br />Congratulations!RHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551101240756253666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-90621405656398585892011-06-27T10:13:03.982-06:002011-06-27T10:13:03.982-06:00Way to go!

And yes, it's always the unassuming ones who wind up kicking your butt at the race (I have a great photo of me getting passed at kilometer 18 of a half-marathon I did last year by a lady who could easily have been my great grandmother both in age and in her choice of attire).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-49960525373937774682011-06-27T10:02:16.663-06:002011-06-27T10:02:16.663-06:00Congrats, glad to hear you endured!Congrats, glad to hear you endured!Frazzled-Razzle-RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840442693927025940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138625163039637769.post-30369966425476057142011-06-27T05:47:25.325-06:002011-06-27T05:47:25.325-06:00The fast swimmers are the ones without the wetsuit...The fast swimmers are the ones without the wetsuits, wearing the Swedish goggles. <br /><br />I hope those gels were caffeinated.
