I love the idea. Gotta get some advice, though, maybe from the TE'ers who do both distance climbing on the bike and triathlons...

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope to train for and do the Shasta SUPER Century next summer...135 miles and 16,000 feet of climbing. That would be my biggest goal event (with RATPOD in June, I hope...157 miles and 7500 feet). Shasta is August 5th or so. Don't know that I would want/be able to train as hard on the bike as I would have to for that ride, do it, come home, and 2 weeks or so later do my first Tri.

I'm thinking about finding a sprint tri for next spring after the end of my winter cross training, to try before abandoning other pursuits to focus on the bike for my June & August goal rides...or, maybe there would be one next October or so. (Edited to add...of course, all this is God willing! We plan...he laughs...you know the saying!)
