That's excellent Grog! I loved the pictures!
I'd like to try a tri someday but I'm afraid to do the lake swim. I wish they had one with a pool swim here...

It's a pool swim (only 300m, 12X25m).
You're all set!

Oh I missed that it's a pool swim!! I had checked out the Apple Triathlon and that's how I got interested in the Try-a-Tri. I thought it was still in the lake though. Off to go look more closely. Can't go this year because I'll be in France.
. And I need to learn to swim better.

Nice work Grog. The conditions looked rough. Glad you had a good race.
PS - It's looking more and more like I'll be in Vancouver for the May 6th Marathon, but I think I'll downgrade to the half. I'm just not really into the running long thing right now. We'll see.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

I'm running the half too, so feel free to join! We'll be a small group of people getting there but running on our own I think. Originally Posted by Wahine

Thanks for sharing your story, and congrats on sticking it out in that weather, it made me cold just looking at the pictures!
