My name is Chris Zepp and I am looking to enter my first tri on Saturday in Pella, Ia. I was hoping to do a sprint distance first, but this one is an Olympic distance. Also, I will be using my wetsuit for the first time, so I am hoping it does not throw me off.

I started training with guys at work. The team started with about 7 or 8 of us and now we are down to 3 of us still training. It takes time and committment to hang with this. I am sure you are already aware of that.

Anyhow...wanted to introduce myself.

Best of luck at your first tri. I would suggest tring out the wetsuit once before the race just to get the feel for it. Also to test getting it of quickly. Let us know how you do.

Well - just finished the first triathlon. Didn't go so hot. The waves and wind were pretty rough. I asked some of the more experienced triathletes and they said they had never swam in water so rough, except the ocean! Great - that I got to experience that!

I actually had to be fished out. They let me swim that last 1/4 mile in and finish the tri, but I can't say I completed my first yet. I have a sprint one next. Maybe I should have done that first.

Hi Chris, elcome to the site -- and congrats on finishing your first tri -- and under such adverse conditions! Glad to have you here. Now it's time for you to look for your next race!! It would be great if you posted your race on the race log for us to read all about it.
