This morning I entered the lottery for my second triathlon:
It’s my hometown tri, and I really hope I get in! I remember seeing the triathletes biking around town on this day every year, and I thought they were a little crazy just to be riding 17 miles, much less also swimming a half-mile and running 5!
Once I started blogging, I’d read about so many triathlon-ing bloggers and was both terrified and not really willing to shell out all the money I thought it required to participate in a triathlon. (Since, let’s be real, I’m not really competing.) Last year, my blogging buddy Katy, a huge fan of tris (and just overall awesome person), wrote a great guest post for me on how to do your first triathlon for under $10. While I ended up spending just a wee bit more than that, I didn’t go crazy.
My first triathlon didn’t go so well, so I’m hoping for an awesome redemption tri this time around.
Which means I need to learn a bit more about my bike…
What races absolutely sucked for you and how did you or do you plan on redeeming them? Also, any other good tris in the NYC area I should sign up for if I don’t get into this one?
