Amazing, fitness4life - you didn't give up b/c of your injury - thanks for the inspiration!

I completed my first sprint triathlon on May 7 (900 yd swim, 16:50; 6 mile bike on steep, hilly gravel & pavement, 29:18; 5k, 31:51). It was very, very hilly terrain. I was so proud of myself I thought I would burst - and I finished 45/90 for the women, too.

I have another on June 12, a third on July 17, and potentially an Olympic length on August 7 (I haven't seen the registration open up yet, though).

I might run some 5Ks this summer just for fun - I never thought I would hear myself say something like that...I've come such a long way...

Calluna, that is awesome!
