Completed my first Sprint Triathlon Thanks Everyone!

I wouldn't have even tried it without all of your encouragement, so thanks to all of you! It was 1/3 mile swim 12 mile bike 4 mile run/walk I am stronger in swimming and biking. The swim was a joke, it was so shallow that most people ran over half of it and if you tried to swim, you bumped into them, passing was impossible. So, I laid back and finished in the last third.  We had strong winds here today so the biking was fun but against the wind for all but about 4 miles. I was able to pass about a dozen people which I needed cause I knew most of them would pass me on the run/walk. I walked as much as I ran on the 4 miles. It felt really good to finish though. Don't have the final results but I wasn't last! I may have been close but I wasn't last. I could have pushed myself harder on the run, will definitely do that next time. This is a low key triathlon which is good for beginners. My legs were definitely wobbly after the biking, lots of work to do! Thanks again for the encouragement!  grateful to have survived AND FINISH!  judi
