Triathlon: should I or not?

[sharsell119]

Thanks! Good luck with your IM training... I'm not sure I'm that ambitious. Well, I should clarify that. I'm QUITE sure I'm NOT that ambitious. I can't even imagine how much time that would take to properly train. But coming across the finish line would be amazing!!

One of the reasons I chose this race as my first Olympic is because it's a few miles from my brother in law's house. That and it's flat and shady!! (And not salt water.)

Well I am a little late to this party. Ok really late.

Congrats on your first race! Double congrats on signing up for the Oly.

Best part about this thread. Your Avatar combined with your original post.

Way to get it done.

Was the swim on this race an open water swim?

This one I just did was a pool swim. The NJ State Tri is OW in a lake.

Congrats on catching the bug!
Tip for open water swimming in packs - put your cap on over your goggles - much harder for the goggle straps to come off/get knocked off then.

Enjoy it all!
