my first too!  (unless i can get a waitlist spot in wilmington in sept)

congrats on the great life changes and journey to get here.  i started bodybuilding almost 3 years ago and it helped me quit smoking, the ridiculous partying, and become closer to God and my family.  it's amazing what getting physically healthy does for your life!

wurkit_gurl - 2008-08-27 2:10 PM It's a fun race - did last year. Swim is fine, bike is rolling hills, nothing too scary and the run is flat. Wish I were doing it this year, though it's only 3 weeks away from my first marathon, so probably a bad idea

It is going to be fun...besides you get to hang out with us! Just messing - get back to your marathon training.

I can always come jockstrap or volunteer.

I'm a-gonna be there

First year for me too.  I've done a few this year and this one looked like fun. 

Hey to all...

I'm very new to Tri.  I will be doing my first Sept 20.  I have heard several people speak highly of this one.  

Complete newb question here... but is there enough time between the two Sept 20 and Oct 4 for me to do both?

 Thanks,

Mark

By October, you should be fine with a full-sleeve. Last year the water was 76, but I think the year before it was only 72. I wore a full-sleeve suit last year, and I wasn't too warm. Plus, if the weather stays like it has been with the cooler nights, the water temp should drop.

This will be my second tri.

I'm planning on renting a wetsuit from Bonzai.  Should I get full sleeve or will a sleeveless be fine?

Thanks, doc, I think I'll go for the sleeveless.

BTW, any advice on what to wear for the cycling (full sleeve cycling jersey)?  I figure it will be a little chilly, and I don't want to be wearing just a wet tri top.

Totally depends on the weather. Last year it was in the mid-70s and overcast. I wore a trisuit. I get cold easily. I was fine. Dan's suggestion of arm warmers is good - if it ends up being cool. You don't want to struggle with putting on a top while you are wet.
