Hello All.

I just moved to Tampa Bay in November and am ready to train! I was planning on my first Sprint in Spring last year and missed the boat. I got cold feet and didn't sign up.

Now that I am in Sunny Florida I want to get back to training and make my first Sprint sometime this spring. I would be interested in finding a group to swim with.

Check out the Miles and Munchies thread for opportunities to meet up with some local BT folks for some workout and social time.  Welcome to FL!

Welcome to the area. Let us know what part you are living in and maybe there will be a chance for a training ride.

Thanks all for the replies. I am located next to the Citrus Park Mall, spitting distance from the Upper Hillsborough trail! I am thinking of shooting for the Sand Key Sprint, unless anyone has a better recommendation for my first Tri.

The Crystal River Sprint series are awesome.  They are small, friendly and very well organized.  That was my first race ever, and I go back every year and try to make all 3 sprints.  http://drcsports.com/

this weekend is a race, "trail race," it should be tough. there is the 5K and half mary length. I will be doing the half marathon.

Forgive me for hijacking this thread, but G8RSAX, how do you like the Crystal River twilight Tri? I live in Dade City and am thinking of adding that, and possibly even the August race, to my calendar.

To offer something to the OP, I did the Morton Plant Mease event last year at Sand Key and really enjoyed it. Granted, running the first 1/2 mile or so in the sand was a bit of a challenge, but I thought the race was very well done. I'll be back again this year.

Good luck.
