First triathlon

I did my first triathlon today! It was a short one, just 55 minutes and go as far as you can in that time (all indoors) and I finished last but I met my personal goals of both finishing it and not ever stopping moving, no matter how much I wanted to on the bike portion.

This wasn’t really a planned thing. I had just started considering a race in August and had only had one real training session before I saw this one posted two days before the event. But I figured since it was by time and not distance it wouldn’t matter as much as long as I kept moving, so that’s what I did.

I haven’t really done anything in over 10 years and only did one 5k back then, so I’m definitely not an athlete. Seriously overweight and out of shape but I’m SO glad I did this!

I tried to highlight next to my score but kind of got several. But mines the lowest distance lol.

I am a person who wants to do a lot of things trapped in a body that’s constantly exhausted and likes naps.
