First tri ever Sunday!  Midwest Mayhem near Lawrence, KS.  Can't wait. 

Moss Park Sprint Triathlon in Orlando, FL....

My first race ever on Sunday, Tri it high sprint in Leadville, CO.  I'm also already having trouble falling asleep at night and it's still 2 days away, not sure how I'm ever going to get any sleep Sat night. I'll be posting some last minute questions in another thread here shortly... super excited!

1 mile Open Water Swim this weekend as prep for my first sprint tri in 2 weeks.

Home race in Hometown!!!  700 people in the Sold out Mossman Sprint Tri in Norwalk CT!!!

BBQ at Rudedogs house with a bunch of BT'ers afterward!!!

My first triathlon is on the same day, Sunday the 19th.  I've been too busy to be nervous for the most part and I'm starting to prep for it today.  BRATS Triathlon #2 is the title with a 300m pool swim, 12.4 mile bike and 5K run.  This is also a crossroads for me, do I spend more money on stuff for this sport or is this something I thought I might like.  I was in a Tri store yesterday with some stuff in hand that I put back with this in mind... my wife says I should have gone ahead and bought it.  She tends to be right a lot.  Anyway, anxious to get through the swim to be honest, otherwise I feel good going into it. 

I received my info packet yesterday via e-mail and read through it.  Will be reading it again today.  It is a 7AM start and I'm not sure when I'll be getting in the pool... hopefully it isn't too cold at that hour of the morning.  Hopefully I'll be able to get to bed and sleep good Saturday night, will be an early morning driving 40 minutes and then getting there by at least 6 to get marked, set up transition, figure out the transition area, etc.    

Good luck on your first one and to everyone else racing this weekend.

Seafair sprint triathlon in Seattle WA on the 19th! My little sister's first triathlon!!!

Catfish sprint triathlon in harrisburg PA.  my 2nd race ever.

Disco Triathlon OLY. This will be my first race since IMKY 08. I am totally under trained but looking forward to it

Doing the sprint at Eagle Creek in Indianapolis. It's my second sprint this year and I'm considering it a practice for the OLY Tri Indy race. 

Disco Oly... 4th time doing this race. Should be fun and hopefully a little cooler than our 100+ temps we've seen lately.

I'm doing my first tri at the 400m/15k/5k Wet Dog Sprint in Decatur, AL, on Saturday. I am so excited I had trouble sleeping last night. I'm just ready to cross that finish line! 

Mountain Man 70.3 in Flagstaff, AZ. It's my A race, but I'm not racing.  

I did the Mayhem last year.  It's a lot of fun. Looks like the weather is going to be nice.  Good luck!
