My first Triathlon!!!

[Suzann]

Hi fellow WISHers!
I normally don't post on here.. but I'm competing in my first triathlon this weekend. I'm super excited!! I normally only do running races, but have been working on my biking and swimming.

It's the Beaver Lake Tri (I think its called a sprint or super sprint)
http://beaverlake.org/blt/blt.html

Quarter Mile swim, 13.8 mile bike ride (with one huge hill apparently) and 4.3 mile run. My goal is two hours, but really.. my number one goal is not to drown, second goal is just to finish

I'm borrowing an older road bike (Centurion Le Mans) from a friend to see if triathlons are something I want to get into!

Wish me luck!!

Good luck and please share a race report with us when it's over. Especially good luck on not drowning.

Good luck Suzann!!! You wont' drown. Don't worry too muc about your swim time, because it's such a small percent of your total race time. Sounds like you have perfect goals. Have fun!!!!!!! *Wish your friend had let me borro whis bike for my first tri.

Good luck! I'm pretty sure tris are addicting. I did my first one this past weekend and cannot wait to race more!

Thanks guys! I'll post a race report after its all said and done! (And maybe some recovery time in between)

Hopefully you don't drown. That would be very bad. But I hope you finish well and enjoy it, and no injuries. Can't wait to read your post-race report.

Thanks again!

Does anyone have a good triathlon 'check list'? I know I'm going to worry about having everything ready to go and not forgetting anything.
