Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 | Just did my 1st Triathlon this am. I HATE running!!! So boring to me. People were passing me like I had a sprained ankle. So embarrassing, ugh. But I got a lot of them back in the bike portion where it was my turn to yell "on your left" as I passed them. To my surprise the swim turned out to be the most challenging of the 3, even turned over multiple times and did the backstroke finding that easier. Orientation and bumping into people stole a lot of needed energy. Anyway I finished it and now I can say I did one. Ironman....No way Jose!
