Waiting for Danskin Tri Registration

[teigyr]

I think I'll do the Lake Sammamish tri also. It's a week after Danskin, that is the only downfall. I heard good things about it and the running/cycling parts look very pleasant and easy. Re the Five Mile Lake one, the swim is 400m! It really gets no better for challenged swimmers such as myself.

Danskin though....now it's personal. Silly thing was supposed to open today? I worked an all-nighter last night and just got home. I work another one tonight. I must sleep at some point but dare I sleep thinking that registration might start? Orlando filled up so quickly. I'm stubborn and I don't want it to defeat me.

Luna looks good too. I saw that in some publication or another and thought it would be fun.

Oooh, If I don't get in the Danskin, I wanna do the Lake Sammamish, if it's women only.

Luna, I assume, is women only. When and where is it?

Do you have a link? (cuz I'm too damm lazy to go look for it, y'know!)

Is this it?

Lake Sammamish is not women only but I heard good things about it:

The mixed gender one I was in wasn't brutal but it wasn't as polite as the women only one. My chain was actually knocked off my bike when I came back into transition from the swim Support was good though and besides the killer hills on the bike course (this was the Kirkland tri), I couldn't complain.

A friend of mine did Danskin last year and she promises to msg me the minute she hears that registration is open or if she hears about when it'll open. The Danskin site says anyone with an e-mail address on file will be notified (I submitted my e-mail address) but I figure I'll cover all bases.

Yup that's the link for the Luna that I was talking about. I haven't done that tri but I've done Blue Lake which I think is on the same course. Very nice venue and flat.
