I'm planning to register age-group, but I will probably be in one of the first waves right after the Elites with Team Survivor. Who knew cancer came with perks?
MT - it really doesn't cost extra $$ to do a tri. The only stuff I had to buy when I did Danskin a couple years ago was a pair of goggles. I bought my own wetsuit, mostly just because I wanted one. Everything else, I just used what I already had. I swam in my bra and compression shorts. Put on a commuter skort and tank top for the bike (on my upright hybrid with rack and fenders), changed to my sandals and added a baseball hat for the walk. Don't let the $$ idea stop you! You can spend as much or as little as you want.
Oh, and a friend of mine did some training with Luna Chix, I think it was free.
And if you go to one of the First Time Tri events at Nordstroms or REI you can purchase one of their reserved blocks of race entries, even if the race has sold out.
Edit: I am just waaaaaay to anxious about getting in this year. I've checked the darn site like 4 times in the last 2 hours!
