First off, thank you for the well wishes and training tips:)  It really meant alot to have support when doing something for the first time.

Leading up to the race, I was a nervous wreck.  I didn’t care anymore about how well I’d do, I just didn’t want to crash!  We finally get to the location and got the transition area ready.  Before you knew it, the famous count down began.  For those of you who have never experienced a race of any sort, let me say that the adrenaline rush you always hear about is an understatement.  I was completely into my zone and would not, could not give up. 

It was torture throughout and I was certainly glad it was over but then something strange happened, I fell in love!  I want to push myself harder and do better for the next one and the next one after that.  It didn’t bother me that I came in 83 out of 96 participants.  I am celebrating the fact that I did it and did not give up.

I realize now what my weak points are and will increase the intensity of my training starting tomorrow.  But tonight….I am quietly celebrating the fact that I am no longer a virgin.
