Thanks for the input on my Triathlon question.
The longer of the 2 is on Sept 17, the shorter is on Sept 30. If I want to spend way too much money entering events I could do both. As it is I think I’ll do that Tri For Real (the longer one) to see my improvement which will be considerable. Of this I am confident.
Then, if I really, really want to I can probably do the other one since there are 2 all women’s triathlons on the same day in the same area and I doubt they will both sell out.
Today I am supposed to ride 1/2 way up the local “mountain” which would be about 1500 feet over about 2 or 3 miles. It is supposed to be 95 degrees or so. We’ll see.
I have a lot of things to post if only I could remember what they are. Stay tuned.

Hey. I think you made the best choice. It’s always better to check yourself!
I’ve run the Tri for Fun events and the Tri for Real. They are all great to experience, but there is nothing like the satisfaction of having the clock at the end. Just remember to practice using the Multi-sport feature on your Garmin BEFORE the event itself.
I’ll be rooting you on from cyberspace! You’ll be my go-to person when it’s time for me to prepare for a Tri next year.
September will be your month but, please, don’t waste your time trying to remember the lot of things to post…..we can help you with some interesting topic.
