I was about to go home, thinking that the race has ended, but I saw at the corner of my eye, two more runners, so I waited and when they crossed the finish line, I noticed it was a blind man and his sherpa. Wow, I was instantly moved after seeing that.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-21353936124606724832010-10-17T08:01:25.434-05:002010-10-17T08:01:25.434-05:00My first triathlon was memorable all the way aroun...My first triathlon was memorable all the way around. It was 58 degrees out, the water temp was 60. Just after we got on the bike it started raining and wind gusts kept knocking bikers off the road. As we headed out on the run, hands were so cold people couldn't tie their shoelaces and when our feet started warming up it felt like we had an extra pair of socks stuffed in our shoes. I saw at least five people stop to check! This was by far the worst weather I've had for a race but it was also by far the funnest race I've ever done! Afterwards a lot of people were complaining about the horrible weather but I absolutely loved it!Habeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340055935889970661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-23129870646925747112010-10-16T10:55:28.413-05:002010-10-16T10:55:28.413-05:00I just did my first tri (sprint) in Sept and it wa...I just did my first tri (sprint) in Sept and it was amazing. I went in with ZERO expectations except to enjoy the experience and have fun. I didn't even bother putting on my Garmin at T1-I said screw it! Just go and have fun!!<br />The last three miles of the bike ride heading back to the transition area, riding all along the beach I got thinking-I was so proud of myself for coming so far (2 years ago I was 100lbs overweight) and I was SAD that my first tri was almost over! I just got so choked up with emotion-but I was having a blast! and at that point I realized that I had fallen in love with triathlon and road racing lost a bit of it's lustre.<br />NOTE: I placed 2nd in my AG for that tri :) talk about the icing on the cake.<br /><br />Best wishes to you~don't let the taper get ya down! Looking forward to reading all about IMFL!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08011009498623515710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-83446427565455706162010-10-16T10:29:58.360-05:002010-10-16T10:29:58.360-05:00Good luck with your taper!Good luck with your taper!Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335001280807576664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-29782021897540624552010-10-16T07:14:31.391-05:002010-10-16T07:14:31.391-05:00i know this will be hard to believe but the taper ...i know this will be hard to believe but the taper has been pretty okay. i haven't ripped anyone's head off yet and i haven't gotten one bit antsy, which is a huge surprise to me.
