I finished the Emerald Pointe Triathlon!!! at Lake Lanier on October 8, 2006.  I'm not going to talk about times, as this was my first triathlon and my goal was just to finish - and I did!!  It was actually a lot of fun, although it was definitely a challenge - particularly the swim.  I think I spent more time drinking Lake Lanier and getting kicked than I actually did swimming, but the biking went really well and the run went ok.  This was a "sprint" triathlon, which is less distance than a full triathlon, but it worked well for my first effort.  I guess I'll have to go for a full triathlon sometime during the next season.
