Anyone out here with any good suggestions I am all ears =) THANKS in Advance.

Got up early had my gear all setup from the night before and went to the races…

the water wasnt as cold as I thought it would be… and I thought about going without my wet suit…. but I decided to go with it….

BADDDDD choice… I DIDNT EVEN FINISH THE SWIM SECTION =( I got about 50 or so meters in a 750 meter distance… pathetic… I was done….

I thought I was done for the entire day and I was not happy about it….

I was informed that I could still finish the rest of the race… HOPE =)

So… I did the walk of shame off the lifeguard boat and ran up to my bike…

got suited up and did my ride…. everything was going well.. considering my failed attempt at the swim…

got to the transition and went for my run….

I felt good =)

My wife and daughter were cheering for me (THAT WAS THE BEST PART)

200 meters from the finish… I JAMMED my foot in a crack of all things…. STOPPED ME cold.. turned me around stuck my left arm to brace myself and hitt the ground.. I was doing about 7 or 8 mph my typical pace….

DAM IT!!!! I was PISSED… and HURT some people came to help and told them IM FINE LET ME FINISH!!! and as I ran said thank you…ok hobbled…

I knew I would feel it when I cooled down and adrenaline wore off… but for NOW

I WAS GOING TO FINISH!!!! and I DID

the time shows 27th place out of 40.. I know its not accurate… but I have learned many things in that one morning…

the biggest thing… that got me all choked up was my wife telling me that she was proud of me, felt like the luckiest man alive…

I rearly hear that….

Well next race I will select a smaller swim and build from there….

Thank you ALL for your SUPPORT!!!! and for those doing a triathlon KEEP GOING

I KNOW I WILL TRAIN HARDER FOR MY NEXT ONE!!!!!

IM NOT DONE YET…..

I am going to focus more on my times in swimming, cycleing, and running and less on weight lifting….. should I still hang out here and get info from everyone on here???? or Should I just kick myself out??? I am only dropping my weight lifting for about 2 months then starting again after my triathlon…

Should I be concerned about dropping muscle???? anyone else done this?
