I'll be there and I can't wait!

The new ToC course is probably the fastest course in Victoria!

That's the weekend of the Organic and Sustainability Festival! So once everyone is done racing - come on down to the Glendale Gardens and say hello! I'll have fruit! ;-)

This is the festival information:

This is my information. I'll be in the main village:

That explains my super fast time last year..

I'll be there...

It will be "my first tri"... sort of excited and nervous at the same time... fear of the semi-unknown

Trying to get used to toe clip pedals and still feel VERY vulnerable with my feet attached to my bike. I'm contemplating replacing the pedals with my standard pedals... as I'd rather finish somewhat slower.. than feel unsafe and run the risk of not finishing at all?!

I've done a few bike to run transitions... I don't find the adjustment too extreme or lengthy. Does it vary somewhat depending on the person... size, relative amount of leg muscle mass, etc?

Undecided right now, depending on work issues. I would love to do it.

Tomorrow is the big day!!
Excited and nervous at the same time
Still not sure exactly what to expect as this is my first tri...

Have fun Jocelynn! I wish I could be there to support you ... GOOD LUCK! And just relax and enjoy yourself. Go with the flow. ;-)

If you have a chance - come on down to the Organic Festival in the afternoon ... or send me an email and let me know how it went!

Happy racing to all those doing ToC tomorrow!!  Can't wait to read the race reports

Yeah to us.. It is going to be hot out there. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate....What time are your heats?? mine is 830

Hey..

TR.. thanks again for all the suggestions, support, insights.. not to mention the unitard.. and for connecting me to this wonderful website.. How's the organic festival going? I noticed the studio was packing up a few things to display this weekend...

My heat is at 8:10... later than I'd anticipated..  it's heat #6.... overall I think that'll be alright.. sort of in the middle of all the heats..

All done... !!
What an amazing experience... Had a great time... and.. yes.. I think I'm hooked... Unless it's still the endorphines

Anyone have recommendations for a 2nd tri??

How about the 30th anniversary Sri Chinmoy at Elk Lake on August 2? It's an Olympic Distance ... I'm tri-ing it this year for the first time. I'm not sure how I'll do in the open water swim, though I do have a good wetsuit that I think I could float to China in, it's so buoyant ... The bike ride is a bit hellish ... many hills ... but the 10km run around Elk and Beaver Lakes is nice and relatively flat. Also check out the Subaru Triathlon Series; they all have Sprints associated with 'em. Glad you enjoyed the Tri of Compassion ... I had a good race and lots of fun!

Hey...

Thanks for the info. Had a few people recommend the SRI Tri & Duathlon..
Thinking right now that I'd like to do another Sprint.. as I'm not a strong cyclist..
Contemplating Walnut Grove on the mainland at the moment..
Possibility that I may end up at SRI in a team entry.. in the role of.. "just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming along"... hee hee
