Today I completed my very first triathlon. I had a blast and can't wait to do another. This triathlon was a 500m ocean swim, 12mi bike ride, and a 5k run.
I severly under estimated the swim, I had mainly trained in a pool and those waves are pretty strong. The bike was good, looking back I feel like I could have gone harder. Finally the run. First of all let me state that running and I don't get along at all. All through the run I kept telling myself to "just keep going" because I knew if I stopped I wouldn't start again. Having said that if I were a better runner I could have finished a lot better. My goal was to finish in an hour and a half. I believe I finished a few minutes beyond that, BUT I placed third in my age group so can you really complain?! The breakdown of my results are here.
With my motto of the day being "just keep going" it made me think of other instances where I've wanted to give up or have given up and should have just kept going. No matter what the outcome would have been.
