OKAY - Who's doing this with me??

The Capitol of Texas Triathlon, Monday - May 25, 2009.  I think I have decided to make this race my main (triathlon) goal for 2009. It may also turn out to be my first Triathlon, but we'll see what else comes up. I am also planning on doing the Pflugerville Triathlon too.

So, who wants to come play with me? 

Here's the website description: Austin Texas premier triathlon event. The Capital of Texas triathlon has become an exciting event that happens downtown in the Capital of Austin, Texas. Attracting first timers, relay-ers, age groupers, and Professional triathletes from around the globe. One of the most exciting and spectator friendly races in the country!

I have a couple friends, Ryan and Myron, that are already Tri guys, but who else wants to join in on the fun? I'm just assuming they are doing it...lol

750 meter swim • 20k bike • 5k run 
Sprint distance athletes can choose to participate in Age Group, Clydesdale, Athena or Trisome (relay) divisions. 
9:00 am • Monday, May 25, 2009

whoa. i'm trying to do the math to see if i'm up for it. i think i could be into that...i definitely want to be a triathlete someday. will they let me do it with my crappy ol' mountain bike? i don't have a road bike.

so i converted the distances to American feet/miles/etc. but really what helps me is Madden Units: so it's a run around town lake from mopac to south 1st st, a bike around the entire town lake loop from mopac to the longhorn dam, and swimming 3.5 lengths of barton springs.

Dave, I'm sure they will let you ride whatever you want... I also have a road/hybrid you could borrow. We'd have to work a little to make it fit you, though. You'll kick my butt on the run btw...

I think I might join you. i have been wanting to do a tri and have always wimped out. I need to sell my Mtn. bike and get a road bike.

[Charles Whitmire]

Very cool, Randy! ...but selling a bike is like selling a putter - you will always regret it! Just do like I do, and add... Never subtract :)

I'm not.

You = insane. That is a lot of work to do for fun. Good luck though!
