I Finished My First Triathlon

by Shawn Collins on March 15, 2010

Yesterday, I completed my first triathlon, and I’ve caught the bug.

I was nervous about completing all three events, and whether I’d be zapped of energy when it came to the run.

But it all worked out well. As I expected, swimming was the biggest challenge for me, and this was accentuated by having to share a lane in the pool.

Also, the first transition was a little tricky, as I went from being soaked to putting on my Nike Dri-FIT two-in-one running shorts. Note to self – they’re pretty hard to put on when wet.

But after that, it was smooth sailing with the bike and run.

It was so gratifying to complete it, and I’m going to look at a schedule now for future events in the area.
