I'm sure I'm near my quota of questions for the month, but two more:

1. What are tris with men like? I've done two Danskin (all women) tris, and they really cater to first-timers, so no fears. But if I go co-ed, I'm really worried about getting beat up on the swim and annihilated on the bike. Also I wonder how many women will be in the tri. I'm thinking about the Devilman sprint in May in New Jersey as my first for 2007, but I'm very nervous about signing up.

2. Why do swimmers use short fins like zoomers? I'm curious: Why use those instead of the long fins?
