Living in Houston, I am used to hot and humid. The poor roads and how lucky we got with the weather was what everyone was talking about after the race. I was really concerned about the heat going in but we got really lucky.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-80516661448814554072009-08-03T19:53:24.827-05:002009-08-03T19:53:24.827-05:00Boomer and Steve - Thanks for the support througho...Boomer and Steve - Thanks for the support throughout this whole thing couldn't have done it without you guys!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-11839848088469252602009-08-03T19:49:32.018-05:002009-08-03T19:49:32.018-05:00Christina - Thanks!

Your bike ride did sound frustrating - its a wonder you didn't have a flat.<br /><br />Your training pulled you through though. It's clear to me that you were properly prepared and that equipment (bike) and local conditions (hills, road) were matters you couldn't anticipate your first time out. I do believe a different bike with clipless pedals will make ALL the difference if you choose to do another tri.<br /><br />At any rate, I truly enjoyed your report...and no where did you mention the heat! You were probably having too much fun to notice. :)Boxcarvibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403267379168255742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-45877373640452766652009-08-03T00:29:31.452-05:002009-08-03T00:29:31.452-05:00Jeff...

Hope the boys are better. I now feel absolutely fortunate about my first triathlon swim (and my second)... I didn't take any shots where I live! <br /><br />The bike sounded crazy! Having a rough, chipped out road is a bummer. The hills are definitely no fun too.<br /><br />Your T2 time was pretty good! I knew you would hammer your run. Hey, great job. Sorry to hear that your friend got road rash.<br /><br />Again, I really enjoyed your race report and all the posts leading up to your race. I am looking forward to the photos and videos.<br /><br />Making a decision for your next endeavor can wait. Although, I am interested in your decision. At any rate, you have my support with whatever you decide upon.<br /><br />Welcome to the triathlete club!!!Boomerhttp://www.projectexercise.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-88423251270158590132009-08-02T23:44:34.153-05:002009-08-02T23:44:34.153-05:00Wow!

Sorry you had a few, ahem, bumps and hits along the way but what an accomplishment! Jeremy and I teamed up on a mini tri a couple of weekends ago. He did the swim and bike and I ran. I have a feeling we'll be going back for more and trying to do it on our own. We have a A LOT of training to do. I'll have to read over your whole blog again to get some pointers. Anyway, congrats again and I can't wait to see the pics and vids!!Faith | Family | Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044646091819165844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-67931457308855975182009-08-02T21:24:24.817-05:002009-08-02T21:24:24.817-05:00Congrats Jeff for completing your first triathlon!...Congrats Jeff for completing your first triathlon! Man that swim sounded rough!! Good job persevering through it all. I still have not got my p90x, just been doing calisthenics and pushups. I'm still a LONG way off from completing a triathlon.<br /><br />ChuckWillsCRnewadditionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426921716944225408noreply@blogger.com
