Congratulations on your finish! It sounds like you "ran" a good race (I don't know the proper lingo for triathlon's.) Anyway, good job! I know all about wishing for different results, but hopefully I learn from each event.

I'm a little late but…Congratulations! I'm not a tri person but it seems like you did great to me. As with everything, you'll get better over time.

There are millions who did not even try this race, let alone finish… so I would say you finished with high marks and I would love to have your times… Congrats and keep up the interest and passion!

I think you kicked butt. Just started reading your blog and am so impressed with trialthletes in general. The fact that you did the olympic distance and FINISHED is amazing.

Congrats, as you and others have said, you've only been training for tris for a couple months. The only results you should be concerned with is your individual improvement. Better rankings against the competition will come.

Wonderful job, Beth! I am extremely impressed. It is hard for me to imagine running a 10k after all that swimming and biking! Job well done, and it sounds like you got some valuable data for the next time you do it. Keep up the great work!

.....What all those good people said!
And could it also be that this was a particularly well-trained group?

Congratulations and good luck for the rest of your summer events.
PS Thanks for your comments.

Congrats on the finish! You got through transition troubles, equipment failures, lost belt (and number and GU) and a long lonely stretch; I'd call that a very good race.

Two hours a day? You're making me look lazy!

Congrats! 12 hours of training a week is a ton – it will pay off in the long run!
