I remember another event had an outside changing tent & the race announcer warned/reminded athletes not to walk around naked. Oh my! Much better options today. Have a great season!Sara Cox Landolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297257752158859878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-38908566556585275342010-03-26T18:01:53.450-05:002010-03-26T18:01:53.450-05:00Great first-tri story.

Ours began with laps in the pool using total elapsed time. I was among the first to sign up, so I was in the first wave in the pool. But I'm so slow, I was among the last to finish (even then). Can't remember race distances, but I think I still place in my age group (LOL)!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604668872350765066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-52464560684628813442010-02-08T08:28:43.486-06:002010-02-08T08:28:43.486-06:00Ooops!

I love race reports. :) Especially first time attempts!<br /><br />I do, indeed, love the smell of Sharpie (and neoprene) in the early morning when the sun is just coming up. <br /><br />I've really been enjoying your blog.

I've never been so terrified of drowning or getting eaten by an alligator. One of these days I should write up that experience as finishing that race was the day I decided I really needed to learn to swim!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-84554612450618190632010-02-04T15:41:37.620-06:002010-02-04T15:41:37.620-06:00Thank you for sharing this.
