Links to Triathlon Websites...

Here are some links...just in case any of you feel up to the challenge. Or maybe some of you are already at that athletic stage in your life...

Remember - these are sprint distance...which means they are 1/4 or 1/2-mile swims in "open water", 12 to 15-mile bike ride (some flat, some hilly), and a 5K (3.1 mile run/walk). All very do-able distances.

Here is the link to the Trek Women's Series - they have triathlons all over the country and women of all shapes, sizes, ages and abilities are welcome. It's a rather new series...Sally Edwards, the motivational speaker behind this triathlon, used to be involved with the Danskin. She is actually the LAST PERSON to cross the finish line - so no one ever has to worry about being last. How cool is that? This one is July 11, 2010 and the one I am doing.

Then - there's the Danskin Triathlon Series...this is the one I've done in 3 years past. I like this one too...last year, it was at the END OF SEPTEMBER...BRRRR. It was a beautiful day for a swim, bike and run though.

This one is in Two Rivers/Manitowoc on August 28, 2010 - rather inexpensive compared to others I've participated in. (Let me know if you're interested...I might be putting together a group effort on this one.) It's still up in the air - but I'm tempted.

There a ton of other ones (co-ed) that I know...Lake Mills Triathlon (Lake Mills, WI), Green Bay Triathlon (Green Bay, WI) - both are usually the beginning of summer - like next weekend. There's one at Highcliff and one in Door County. Pewaukee has one too...Oshkosh, hmmm...

I just clicked on this website and there's listings in WI for kids, sprint distance, olympic distance and ironman distance. I love the ones in the "small towns". The community comes out, a lot of the participants are there to have fun and just cross the finish line.

Well...I need to get going. We'll see what I do when I get home today. It's been a long week and a nap is actually something I would like to take advantage of...since I don't officially start training until Sunday!
