I did it!

I will write a longer report tomorrow, but I did it!  I finished my first Olympic Triathlon.  Despite a dropped chain and a fall on the bike, I came out with a time of 3:45, fifteen minutes over my goal, but I'm happy just to have finished.  As for the day after....I hurt like hell today, so we'll see what a cup of coffee and some ibrofen can do to remedy the situation.
