Reesha, I am in awe of you..I popped into this thread just to read stuff about tri's to get some insight. A friend suggested she wanted to do some tri stuff..I can't run to save my soul-maybe jog at a snails pace for a couple of miles if that, I've never swam but I CAN bike. Thats a start. From what I can gather from your posts, there are small tri's? Could you either pm me or direct me in the right area to get more information. I know my neck of the woods does not have such things. Thanks in advance.
