Regular 83 |  Subject: Good Beginner Triathlon Spring '10?I am looking for some suggestions of a good sprint distance triathlon for me train towards as my first race. I would like to either find something in the Atlanta area or in a location that would work for a weekend road trip like Eastern Tennessee, Western Carolinas, or Savannah. If it is outside of the Atlanta area, I would leave after work on a Friday evening, so about 4 hours would be the driving limit. For my first race, I would stick with my mountain bike and would rent a wetsuit if needed. Sometime in the spring would allow enough time to train (and avoid the cold winter). Any suggestions on which races to look into? Any races I should avoid as a beginner? Thank you |

Can't go wrong with this one as your first...swim is short enough that you do not need a WS Edited by thecaptin 2009-09-04 1:20 PM |

After that, you could have plenty of time to train for Chattanooga if you wanted to step up to the Oly distance. |
