I Did My First Triathlon! Race Recap & Lessons Learned (66 Days To Go)
She did it! 🏅 With 66 days left on the clock, Rocket Rebecca is officially a triathlete after completing her very first (unofficial) triathlon!
Join us as we recap the "Try for Tri" day, where Rebecca tackled a 1500m swim, a 20km bike, and a 5km run. We dive into her race results and see how her real-world times stacked up against our scientific predictions. (Spoiler: she's faster than we thought! 😉)
But the real gold is in the lessons learned. We talk through the nutrition nightmare (pro tip: maybe don't shove a handful of sweets in your mouth before a run), the sky-high heart rate that had us all a bit worried, and the mental tricks for conquering open-water panic.
This was a massive confidence boost, and we update the official progress chart to prove it—we're in the green, baby!
