Congratulations!  Yeah you is right!   And to do it that fast is quit an accomplishment.   I love triathlons because you use your whole body.  I have completed 2 of them of course not so fast but I did finish.  Mine were 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 5K (3 mile) run which I walked mostly.  My favorite workout is 1/6th a sprint tri.  2 mile bike, 1/2 mile jog and 6 lengths.  Of course followed by some hot tub time.  What inspired you to do that?  Just me

NewJen that's awesome!  Congrats!  You motivate me.  I want to do a 2 mile run (walk fast) in mid-September.  That would be my first fun run since I was in the Marine Corps back in 1988.  It's awesome that you completed the triathlon!  That's outstanding.  Congrats!!

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm working on a couch potatoe to 5K but am only at a 14 minute mile for 3.3 miles.  Trying to work on distance before speed.  Would like to get up to 5 miles distance.
