Thanks!

The big line in the morning was getting a timing chip. You had to find your line, with your bike in tow, to get checked out.

Will do some of the open water swims!

Thanks! Remember last year when I was asking how the hell you ran more than a mile?

I caught the bug.

They felt fast. Both times I left my area thinking 'I must still be wearing my helmet' or forgetting something major.

Now, off to longer distances?

Thanks! It was fun to see familiar faces, when you are tired, it means a ton.

Looks like you were having fun with the kiddos!

Glad I was (randomly) there to cheer you on at the finish! You looked great and should be proud of yourself.

Congrats :) Nice work on your transitions, I think I spent around 8 mins in transition during my first Sprint!

Check out Boulder Aquatic Master (@BAMswimteam ) open water swims each T/Th morning. They have a beginner session Thursday mornings that should aid with sighting and navigating. It also helps getting comfortable in the open water.

Dealing with the lines is something you have to go through. Next time bring your own marker and bypass it all.

Sounds like you had a great race and a good time which is more than I could say for my first.

Keep it up!
