What distance?

[Running Mommy]

Hey V
There is a really great race out the Danville way. I think it's called "tri for fun". I'm thinking Pleasanton maybe?? I think it's actually a series. It's just a fun race to get your toes wet.
Then I would move on to Oly distance. There is a series in the Sac area that has a sprint on Sat and an oly on Sunday. Tri for real I think it was called? I did it a few years ago and quite enjoyed it.
I also think there is a race at lake berryessa as well. I'm thinking it may be oly distance??
Now if you ever want to do a FUN race that is a bit of a challenge I HIGHLY reccomend the Vineman in Santa Rosa. - Well Windsor/Guerneville. You can't beat the swim and bike courses. Tho the run course is a bugger. It gives a new meaning to "rolling terrain".... But it sure is a fun race. I lived along the run course and voly'd every year. They also do "barbs race" when they do the full vineman in August. It's a half IM but is a womens only race dedicated to raising money for cancer.
Or you could just jump both feet in and do escape from alcatraz!!
You SAID you were a strong swimmer! lol

I've looked at Barb's race. I'm going to see how the running goes and then decide.

V! You're going to do a tri! How exciting! Just popping my head in here for the first time in a long time, and delighted to see you've been assimilated...ahem. I mean.... If swimming's not a problem, and we KNOW biking's not a problem for you, then run train, and I'll bet you build your distance without too much trouble. RM has some great suggestions, of course. Looking forward to reading your training and race reports!

I'm getting back in the saddle myself--swam yesterday, and ran and did weights today. I'm having an extraordinarily quiet week with work; for me the challenge is when on earth to train. It feels really good to be getting back to it; I'm looking forward to my first sprint of the season in May.

Yay for triathlons! L.

I'm not sure yet. The first run went well, although I was sore after. I have to found one at a good time and that's hard.
