Hi Anne,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com and welcome to the world of mini-triathlons!
The Danskin race you’re about to embark on is fantastic for beginner women triathletes. All of the women are amazingly supportive of each other and seeing young ladies, mothers and grandmothers making their way through the course, with their men cheering for them on the sidewalks, is inspiring.
We’re so excited for you and thrilled that TriathaNewbie.com is able to help with your pre-race jitters. Everyone has fears before the race and panicky moments during the race. Then they finish the race feeling like a million bucks. In the end they are left with one thing: The story of their first triathlon. It’s theirs to keep forever!
We look forward to hearing YOUR story!
Thank you for the kind words regarding our website.
Be well,
Julie
