HA! We'll drag you to the dark side!
Actually you can join running hubby in some dirty tri's. I think there are a few in so cal. I have done the San Dimas sprint series and it was fun. One BIG climb (for me at least) and then a SMOKIN downhill! They hold it at Bonelli.
Hmmm... Maybe *I* will have to get dirty just once to see how it is.... Hmmmm...

And for the record- NEVER worry about the run! Tons of people either jog/walk or walk the run portion.

As for WSD, I'm a dwarf! My girth hides just how stubby I am! When I was fit on the Quintana Roo they thought that I "may" be able to get away with a small. HEH! the XS was almost too big for me! Rudy my fitter was amazed. sigh... So I think I will prolly need to go wsd unless I can find something really small.
