Here's another thought: Many tris have the "relay" option. Do you have a friend who would do the run if you did the swim and bike?

DANG, that "Nation's Triathlon" is expensive! $175 for an Oly distance. I hope that's one heckuva swag bag. Perhaps the price will drop in future years...? right... I'd love to do that venue, but not for $175.
