Ellie did amazing. She expected to finish her swim in about 25 minutes, and she finished in 18:20. She was pumped. Her biggest worry (as is a lot of first timers) was finishing in last place. She ended up finishing 385/1171 which is amazing. She was thrilled, and I think I got her hooked. She said, "You know, maybe for birthdays and Christmas, you could get me some tri gear."
