Link is dead. When is the Tri? I hope you are well and getting lots of work in on that trainer.

Looks like the Roanoke Times pulled the story. I remember that that the Roanoke Parks and Rec dept was hosting it. I'll contact them to see if I can get anymore info.

Yep, did it yesterday before the price bump.

Due to each event changing their schedule this year. I have a metric century ride in Hampton on Sat and the Angels Race on Sunday. Sat will be a easy flat ride so I don't think it will too bad. Just going to be a busy weekend. Think I'll take Monday off to rest up.

The Roanoke Tri will be held at Fallon Park. It has a CX track next door. I watched a race there last year at Roanoke's Go Outside Festival. (Highly Recommended BTW)

It has a nice greenway nearby that is a pretty good ride though Roanoke.

If they get things together, we'll have to get a group ride together and check out the area.

Registration is up for the "Off The Rails" sprint tri on May 31st in Roanoke:

I think the exact bike course is still being finalized. It's a 300m pool swim (Fallon Park pool), 15k bike and 5k run.

I'm doing the 22 week sprint tri program and the 2 mile bike ride it starts with is not very challenging. I see this as a opportunity to train the right way and challenge myself. Any ideas?

This past spring I realized a few of us were heading in the wrong direction physically. We were getting together for poker games and kids’ birthdays, but that was it.

When I told my husband that I planned to work toward completing a sprint triathlon, he smiled and was supportive, but a bit disbelieving.

The challenge? The accomplishment? I want to do this because it is an opportunity to live life. The event is an indoor sprint triathlon. I get to experience the challenge on a safer scale.

Already a cyclist and not a bad swimmer, I figured all I had to do was build up to running a few miles and I’d be ready to go. The challenge invigorated me, and I ran out to buy new running shoes.
