I've signed up and just seeing who else may be participating.  I heard good things!  1/2 mile swim, 20 mile bike, 4 mile run...

I signed up.  It will be my first tri and I am clueless, so I'll probably be dead last.  I just want to finish.  I am in Destin.  If you are experienced and want to give me some advice, all advice is welcome.

I'm still learning myself.  Best thing I can tell you is have fun.  Don't get caught trying to keep pace w/ others b/c you will tire down.  Run your pace and get use to the combination of all three and overall feel of race.  Definitely get there early for setup.  You want to have everything easy to retrieve when you come into transitions.  You learn a lot at your first race.  You see how others have transitions set up, etc.  My first was an Olympic and I had a blast!

I'll Be there! I live in Milton, so not too far away.

Keep it simple, esp the transitions.  Have fun, do YOUR best, and pace yourself. Fight like you train and you'll have a blast.
Race day isn't the day to try something new. 
You'll be amazed at how suppportive everyone is, a lot like on here.  
Cheers,
Bear

It is going to be hot.  Why schedule it for the middle of August in Florida?  It makes no sense!  I'm going to pass...

If you don't make this one your first and wait till Oct the one in Destin Oct 10th may be closer.  The heat aside, this should be a lot of fun.

I was just about to sign up, but now I have to go to Vegas.  So I guess I'll have to pick another to be my first.

Enjoy Vegas and you'll have Destin or Mexico Beach to choose from.
