Yeah, I know. It adds up. My "little" tri last weekend was $60. I try to pick events that benefit the community somehow. The YMCA, in this case. I was thinking of doing a sprint tri in June and July also, but I think I'll only do the July one. Why spend more money, when I could simply train? Good for you on the marathon and the century. Tough events. You know you're an endurance athlete when your season consists of 1/2 IM tri, marathon, and century ride!
