I really admire not only their dedication to the diverse training, but "how involved" they have to be on race day with all the coordination.Jim ... 50after40https://www.blogger.com/profile/14165153305680378261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-36974568032187500072011-07-07T18:04:19.916-04:002011-07-07T18:04:19.916-04:00That was very smart of you, Jeff!

I have a wetsuit that I use for surfing... I don't think I could use someone else's wetsuit... I rented one when I went snorkeling in Key West and it felt gross. But guys rent tuxedos so maybe y'all are okay with that. <br /><br />P.S. Pick me for the chrome thing! My car is blue and that baby pink would make it look so sweet and I promise not to put it on until after my marathon in October. :)Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008997988040866733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-5097626755892556802011-07-07T08:57:49.321-04:002011-07-07T08:57:49.321-04:00Make sure the towel you bring stands out so you ca...Make sure the towel you bring stands out so you can find your things in transition easier.<br /><br />Use Pam cooking spray to help you get your wetsuit on and off easier.<br /><br />And I must agree with you on the Speedo one.

I just don't understand it, I lose my voice every time I go to a race those people are poring their hearts into that race!<br /><br />My advice for a triathlon is first practice your transitions, make a plan for what works for you and try to stick to it. Also be prepared for at least one thing to go wrong (goggles flooding, dropping a water bottle, etc) and just roll with it.<br /><br />Can't wait to hear about your first tri, I bet you'll love it and be hooked!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498380171773390533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592755595247951740.post-18058654866174609772011-07-07T07:54:24.689-04:002011-07-07T07:54:24.689-04:00My wife does triathlons and depending on where you...My wife does triathlons and depending on where you live/compete, the wet suit "rent" or "buy" question is a tough one. Down here in Texas, the water is normally warm enough to where they do not allow wet suits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
