First sprint tri for me, Saturday, Plattsmouth, NE
It is a very hilly bike and run. I probably should have picked a flatter one to start with but hey, the time is here.
Good luck.

Not really racing but riding the Tour d'Whatcom. A local ride for charity. Great way to get some seat time in.

It's finally here... My A race.  And I'm seriously wondering what I was thinking.  I'm doing the Waseca Triathlon 1/3 Iron distance this Sunday.  1 mile swim (no prob), 34 mile bike (great, bring it!), and a 8.8 mile run (oh no.  that's a long walk).  Last weekend I went to the race site to ride the course, which is flat and super fast.  Then I saw the lake that I'll have to run around... twice.  It's huge!  And I get to run around it twice.  Can you tell I'm nervous about the run?  Embarassed

First of what should be five straight weekends with a triathlon for me, and eight over the next nine weeks.

Really excited for this one.  It's my first crack at the HIM distance and my first Dot-M race.

1st race for me!  Huntington, WV @ Beech Fork State Park  .5m swim, 24.5m bike, 2.9m run.  Pretty flat course.  Wish i would have scouted.  I've been training 2 months after losing 50lbs in 4 months prior.  Swim is my concern - I really don't want to have to tread water, but in the end I'll settle for calves not cramping. 

Other than that, I'll practice my transitions tonight.  What's the strategy for day before race - light workout on 1 or all, or just rest?

A race, Du plus in Ste-Agathe near Montreal. 10k/90k/10k, served with hills on the side, might have some humidity for desert as well.

I've been preparing for 4 1/2 months, will have a blast!

I am! I'm doing the Intermediate Distance Cayuaga Lake Triathlon (little north of Ithaca, NY). It's my first Oly, not quite as prepared as I should be for the run and I'm nervous as heck... But it's a great race with lots of friends racing too!

Sprint Tri Saturday- my first tri! (I have only been in 3 other races EVER -all 5k's)

I bought a great bike and have been training but I've decided that doing a tri is like having a baby- you're never really ready, you just gotta do it.

All Women's Sprint Tri in Portland tomorrow.  My third tri.  It's a flat and fast course (not that that will make a difference on my time, but whatevah).  Goal is to have fun, and to improve my transition times from my first and second tris (I seem to take an eternity in transition).  Then doing a fun bike ride - The Hottest Day of the Year Ride - on Sunday.
