After what you've been though recently, you did great. Congrats man! I know people in great shape who wouldn't try what you did!

Awesome man. You finished, that's the REALLY night deal.

What did I tell you about teaching your brakes??!?

I tried to warn you!

I was thinking this during his review. Guess he'll learn to listen to us in the future.

Good job! Finishing is always a good thing, especially when it is your first time.

Like I said I knew it'd suck... but didn't think it would be THAT bad..

and I did listen... just forgot to spin the tires... as my bike was on it's stand... not the rack (they ran out of spots so I gave up mine as I HAD a stand)

I still think you could have done better than dead last, you must not have been trying hard enough, like you had a stroke a month ago or something like that. Sounds like someone welcomed you to looserville.

Got any good pictures? Many of these events now have a photog that hangs out at a couple of locations and just takes shots back to back. The ones I've seen usually take pictures of people at the changes, and during the run and by bicycle.

yeah, though it was 71 days ago.

and they MAY have gotten me getting out of the water but I'm sure they went home by the time I got back on the bike!

Sweet job dude...my legs hurt just thinking about doing that. lol

You wouldn't have come in last if you didn't have bike issues.
