My first triathlon

Two weekends ago I did my first triathlon.  I was talked into it by a good friend, and had been wanting to do a race of some kind for a while, so why not start with a tri.  I didn't have much time to really prepare for it, but I figured I would be fine.  It turned out to be a lot of fun, and I'm excited to sign up for another one.  We swam first, then biked, then finished up with the run.  My overall time was 1 hour and 18 minutes, and I finished 24th in my age division.  Not to bad for my first one, but I want to do another one to see how much better I could do.   

Waiting to start before the race.  It was early and a little chilly.  I think I had on 3 layers.

The three of us that did it together.  It's kind of funny that we were all in different age divisions.
