Originally posted by marysia83 I hope everyone will have a great long weekend! I'll be gone for a while, thus, wanted to say HI and wish everyone a nice and sunny 4th ![]() Enjoy! Happy long weekend to all in North America! We gloriously have no real plans after a crazy May and June full of lovely socializing and plenty of kid activities. Now that the weather has improve and races are back I am having some FOMO - I have primarily doing at home strength workouts and enjoying it a lot. The last few weeks i've gotten up early and gotten out to casually ride with a friend. I got a SUP for my birthday and have taken that out for a cruise on the river near me. So life is good. But what about tri??? I've been having lots of ongoing conversations with myself about what i want. Today i am about to register for a sprint-ish distance at the end of the summer but also trying figure out a reasonable training load while still managing all the life stuff including 3 weeks of vacation. I am sure i keep my expectations low I can do it. I just really haven't been doing ANY of the trisports with any sort of regularity in several months but i am excited by the prospect. Can I do it? Probably. Should I?? If you are excited about it, why not? |

My specific task will be to not overcomplicate and do just enough to be trained for the day but not so much that it feels like a burden ... this is a task. I love training but i really need to find the love again and this may just work! As i decided i started looking up all the swim info and thinking about doing club swim but for a 750m swim I really don't need to do that. We have a little pool in my backyard good for short tethered swims, i live near Lake Ontario for OWS and can hit up community swim a bunch of times. Will be good enough. |

![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey manatees, I have been absent for some time and I apologize for that. I will try and bring you up to speed. A couple of you have been watching me on Strava and seen my progress. I went for my first open water swim last night and had fun. I swam 787 yards which I think is good as I still struggle on the swim. Last weekend I ran a 5k in my hometown, first time in that race, and ran a 24:52, 1/6 in age group, 15/64 for men and 18/167 overall. I am pretty impressed for an old guy! lol I have a sprint tri coming up this weekend in Joplin, MO. My team will have a strong representation at this event. Joplin is only about 80 miles north of us so it is considered local and we race it evey year. I am thinking a finish time around 1:10/15, My bike and run is strong. Just gotta get my butt out of the water. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good luck in Joplin Scot. Tulsa is my home town and Joplin was always "local" to us too. I never did any Triathlons in Joplin, but did the Tri Fest in Bentonville once and took my kids to it once when I wasn't racing so they would feel that had to compare themselves to me. I live in Houston now and think my next "local race" will be in Texas City, TX in October which is around a 70 mile drive. Congrats on the 5K. This time of year races times are 1-2 minutes slower so a 24 minute run is really solid. Most of the 5K I was doing in the 30 miles radius of McAlester, OK from 2015-2021 I could have won with anything under a 21-22 minutes. |

I live just south of Bentonville and have been involved in trifest for several years. Raced the Olympic last year. Not sure if I will race it this year. |
