Black Bear Triathlon Completed
Last Weekend I completed my first Olympic Tri (3:02 time). I conquered the beast in the Pocanos! It was so hilly I was suprised the lake swim wasn't uphill . I cant believe a little over a year ago I couldn't have even dreamed of doing this, could not swim more than 25yds, had never run and could only manage short rides. Grateful the surgery gave me the help I needed to get to this.
I will post a photo on my info.
Congrats on your first Oly!!! :D

Depending on your AG you need to be freaking fast. Most top AGers can run the 10k sub 60min OFF the bike and hold bike speeds around the 20mph mark.
The key to nationals is picking your races
