I am so happy for you for finishing your first race. That feeling stays with you for a long time. Sounds like you learned some valuable lessons as I think most of us do each time we race. I think an olympic is definitely doable for you by the end of the season. Doing a full oylmpic is my goal for next year, I am teaming up with some friends for a relay Olympic in Sept where I am doign the swim portion. Should be interesting.
