Girls, I might come in last place at my triathlon. I am not exaggerating. I did the cycling portion this weekend and I am SO freaking slow! I felt like I was working hard, too. I checked the times from last year - I am like 20 minutes slower than the next closest person. Apparently I'm the only dummy amateur who decides to enter this race! Now I'm feeling very intimidated

The good news is that I did the cycling portion and then the running portion and it was ok - I did it all and didn't want to die

Last place is a hell of a lot better than most of us will do sitting here at our computers! You can do it!

Um, the fact that you are even considering a triathalon is fantastic. You are so far from bad it's not even funny.

You are my hero. A tri isn't even on my radar!

You get out there and do your best...you'll surprise yourself, I bet!

Exactly! Who cares! If you complete it, that is a true accomplishment in my book. Gooooooooo Jen!

Um yah, last place is still competing...you are still doing it and I'm terribly impressed with you!

What kind of bike do you have, a road bike or a trail bike? It really makes a difference.

The fact that you are in even in a triathlon is awesome! Well done!

Melissa, I have a hybrid, but I'm considering even smoother tires - it does feel a bit clunky. I'm off to buy a bunch of gear tomorrow - at least I can look cool even if I come in last, right??

You nut....You will NOT come in last and you are psyching yourself out!! I love that you do this stuff....gives me a little inspiration to get to the gym!

Oh Jen - I'm amazed you are doing it! I think it's fabulous!
