I found it! This is the picture taken after our very first triathlon workout. (September 1995) After seeing a triathlon in person, Donna and I rushed out and bought the book Triathloning For Ordinary Mortals. We madly copied "key workouts" into our schedules and realized that the next day was a perfect day to start our plan. I don't remember if that first effort was a run or a bike (or a baby brick), but I remember the feeling of accomplishment. We were worn out and damn pleased with ourselves. I love having this picture as a touchstone to remember always the joys of enthusiasm, new challenges, hard work, satisfaction, and partnership.
