I know this has been discussed before, but Athena?

When I was over 150 pounds, I *always* signed up for Athena. I liked the statement it made about tri being something that anyone can do, regardless of body size. It just felt right to support that class, to say to them YES, we are out here and we are doing it too!

BTW, for the race you are doing, confirmations are online, and they break it out into divisions.

The All-Women's sprint tri they do there in August has LOTS of Athenas. The last time I did it I think we made up 10% of the participants. Since it's self-selecting, there were probably more women who *could* have signed up for Athena if the'd wanted to. It was a very cool event, and very affirming.
