    This is fun. I am getting excited to think about it.

    May 16 - Lion's Sprint Tri - this was my first tri ever last year and is a pool swim I want to do it again mostly to baseline my swim improvement and I talked two of my co-workers into trying it out.
    June - Spring Tri TBD haven't decided which race
    July 18 - Falmouth Tri (I also did this one last year, it was my first OWS)
    August 15 - Falmouth Road Race 7 miles.
    Sept 13th - Nations Tri - this will be my first Olympic Distance Tri and what I am primarily training for.
    Sept 25th - Greenway Challenge Team Adventure Race. My team won the women's division last year so we need to try and defend now

    In addition in August I will also ride the Pan Mass Challenge again - not a race but 192 mile bike ride over 2 days, and I will do some other 5K's through out the year.

    I'm not really racing, but have signed up for my very first Tri....the Harwich sprint on June 26th Definitely not aiming to win, just hope to complete the event before all the officials have packed up and gone home.

    Hey, that's awesome! I've only done one tri myself. I think most of us who are starting out just want to finish that first one so we can gain some confidence and use that experience to set goals for the next one. We all have to start somewhere!

    As far as tris are concerned, I just plan on volunteering for the St. George Ironman on May 1.

    If anyone is coming...let me know, perhaps we can get together.

    Congrats of signing up! It takes alot of bravery to write the check.

    I did an Olympic 5-6 years ago where I was one of the last out of the water. But I'm a good cyclist, so I wasn't worried about making up time. Until I got a flat. I was a really poor runner at the time, so needless to say, I was almost the last person to finish. They waited for everyone, obviously, but they *were* dismantling the finish line banner when I got there.

    I love reading about all your plans.

    I have 2 races on the schedule right now. IM Canada in late August and the Texas Hill Country 600 which I will be doing as a two person relay with my BF. That's 600 km not miles.

    I will probably do a few of the races that Susan has planned. The Deschutes River Valley TT festival, Ring of Fire (this time as a two person team), and Pacific Crest HIM. Otherwise... who knows. I'm thinking about buying a fixer upper house so I may need to save my pennies.

    I sent in my registrations for DRVTT & Pac Crest HIM today! Holding off on RoF until later in the year. There's a very small chance that I might be out of the country that week, so I'm holding off until I know for sure.
