Who's racing this weekend 4/17 & 18 ?

Haystack TT in Boulder, CO. Saturday. 16.5 miles. Bring the pain.

Belews Lake Triathlon.  Greensboro, NC area.  Sprint distance.  488 in the field.  Time trial swim start.  I go in the water after 80% of the field.  Pitiful.  First OWS; first full sprint distance; first race with aero bars.

DFL > DNF > DNS > DNT.

And of course, HTFU.

I am second race of the season Rage in the Sage Boulder City Nevada Half Ironman Saturday nice blamy 55 degree Lake but Air Temp is suppose to be 85 which will be nice during the bike and run

First tri of the season, Lake Travis Tri, a sprint 750m/12.2 mile bike/5K run, my first with a wetsuit... can't wait!

Doing the Santa Barbara Chardonnay 10 Miler this weekend with my girlfriend. Not really going to race it as I want to run with her and help her achieve the pace for her goal. Should be fun!

That is such a fun ride. Last year, we did it as a TTT. I was our #3 strongest guy, and we started with five. #2 flatted less than a minute in, #1's legs were cramping, and so I pulled the whole way. Literally, the whole way. Needless to say, we did not do well... but we still beat some teams. A teammate won Cat 5 by a landslide.


I'll be racing Collegiate Nats in Lubbock. At this point, no expectations - just praying everything goes well.

Carmel Sprint on the 18th

la tri series event #1
500 Meter Swim/ 24K Bike/ 5K Run

first wetsuit swim in a tri

good luck to all!

I will be racing for the first time since November.  The Albuquerque Half Marathon but I have chosen to do the 10k and not the half.  Why?  Because this will be my 3rd year of racing and I have never gotten on the podium.  All the 'real' runners will be running the half leaving the door open for me to actually have a shot at finishing a race in the top 3.  Is that sandbagging?  Will it be an empty victory?  No way!  I still have to show up and race whoever else shows up and let the chips fall where they may.

First race of the year, chance to podium,  I AM STOKED!

I'm on Sat. at the Parris Mountain triathlon, SC. Strange distances 500 m swim, 20 mile bike with a 1000' climb in the middle followed by a 5 mile 700 ft climb on foot. Excited but nervous. They also have a bizarre t-shirt policy.

"EVENT T-SHIRTS

This event will be unique in that you will not get your event t-shirt until you cross the finish line.  The event shirt will say FINISHER across the back.  Any shirts not given out at the finish line to event finishers will be destroyed so only those who completed the event will be able to wear the 2010 Finisher Shirts."

B.A.A. 5k on Sunday
Boston Marathon on Monday

(wait, does a Monday race count?)

NOLA 70.3 - My first HIM!!!

I am in for that one too.

ME!  Belews Lake Sprint in NC.   Last minute tune up for HIM in two weeks.  Surprisingly this little OWS sprint has 500 registered.  Guess everyone is looking to get some wetsuit practice in before HIM season here in the Carolinas.

I'm in for the Rumpus in Bumpass Sprint on Sunday. First wetsuit swim, but I've done this exact course before during Giant Acorn 2009. Hoping for some real improvement! Good luck to all!

I'm racing too -- Marineland (FL) sprint.  Was originally signed up for Oly, but needed to change due to family obligations.

I'm doing my first ever tri, sprint distance, Gold Coast, Australia.
Super nervous and in so much denial about the swim that I havn't swum at all this week. I figured it was too late for an epiphany and why torture myself in the week before....

Supposed to be great weather - high of 60 and sunny! 

Rumpass in Bumpass International distance tri on Saturday.  First tri of the season...

First tri of the season.  I doing the Mullet Man sprint:  440yds swim, 18 miles on the bike, and a 4 mile run.   All at the beach.  A salt water swim and the biking and running along the beach.
