Not a triathlete but a duathlete here!
1st race of the year: May 29, 2005 in St.Jerome, QC. I am looking very forward to starting the du season.
1st race ever: Sept 2003.
Never trained for it, maybe ran 10km total all summer. In the cycling portion going up this rather steep hill (for me), I noticed this motorcycle behind me. Oops! Silly me, the road is open to traffic so we shall move to the shoulder & continue struggling up hill. Hmm.... the motorcycle is still behind me & not making the effort to pass. So, I get annoyed & turned my head over to see what the heck he is doing back there & lo & behold! He is part of the the race organizers holding back traffic for me. Me, of all the slow people with a motorcycle escort struggling up this hill.
That was my defining moment & since then, I was hooked on the sport. Now, I need to learn how to swim & take a crack at a triathlon
