Umm, ackhchually, the first sperm usually doesn't get to the egg. It weakens the outer membrane enough for others to try, and whichever sperm gets lucky to finally break through impregnates the egg. The first one is usually out of energy by that point. So you were lucky to capitalize on the work of others. Cheers!
