New user 40 |  Subject: new from OntarioHi, just introducing myself! I am new to tris and actually new to any kind of events at all. (I like to think of them as events rather than races as the only person I will be racing is me!) In September I did a 10k run (59 minutes) the first "race" for me ever. I went into my running store two weeks ago to buy shoes and the next thing I knew I was signed up for a beginners triathalon clininc (it is a very dangerous store). So I am training for a sprint or a try-a-tri August 8th. So far so good, I can do all the distances on their own no problem, but slowly and am just starting to put them together! Anyway happy triing! |

| New user 40 | Subject: RE: new from Ontario Hi! It is in Peterborough (eastern Ontario). I went to the pool yesterday (had been swimming in open water) just to see what 500m was all about, and it was fine. Easy consistent pace was about 13minutes. I was trying not to push off sinec I won't have that luxury. The sprint is 500m swim, 20K bike and 5k run. Anyone know what the middle to back of the pack finishes in? |

Champion 4902 Ottawa, Ontario | Subject: RE: new from Ontario Hi Cangirl, I am also from Ontario....Ottawa. You asked about mid-pack and back of pack finishing times. In the last tri I participated in, the middle participant, #167, came in with a time of 1:26 and the last person, #334, came in with a time of 2:10. A better way to gauge your aptitude would be to look at your age and gender group finishes. |

Master 1494 Kingston Ontario | Subject: RE: new from Ontario Greetings from Kingston, Ont. I am impressed that many of the other Canadians have responded too! Sounds like you went into a Running Room and got excited! I have to keep out of there or I spend tons of $. Signing up for tri clinics is a good outcome of going into the store. Good luck training!
