I am planning on doing either the Titanium Man(1.5k/40k/10k) or Whiskey Dick(1m/36m/8.8m) on the 21-22 July weekend (respectively). Titanium man is cheaper ($25 by July 12 vs $50 by July 9) and is a downriver swim vs up then down river. On the other hand, Whiskey Dick has a great name, and there is reportedly 1900 feet gained in 12 miles on the bike course!! Can it make up for swimming upriver, I don't know. Otherwise July is booked for me. September has the Cour d'Alene on Sep 1 I may try to go to, and the Big Hurt in Port Angeles on Sep 23. There are both team and solo divisions for this 17m mtb/4.5mi kayak/40m rdbike/ 6 m run. Tons of events and details at racecenter.com Let me know if any of you are interested in carpooling to these races, and email directly if you want to get some training in together. Another one you might check out is Clear Lake on July 14 (.3 mi/15 mi/4 mi), and Kingfisher Triathlon in Belfair (Aug 11) I think has a collegiate division.

One has replied and said that they will send us as many registration packets as we need, and that they can arrange for us all to start in the same heat. I am confident that the second will be able to accomodate us as well. THe triathlons are: > > Aug 12 - Bainbridge Island - 750M swim/30K bike/5K run > Aug 18 - Beaver Lake Park (Sammamish) - .25mile swim/13.8mile bike/4.3mile run > > Everyone who is interested please respond. I am leaning more towards the Bainbridge Island race. It is closer, and the bike is longer(and this is where most of the Husky teammembers can do a lot of damage against our competitors). Also, I have never taken the Bainbridge Island ferry. Not only that, but it is a week before the other event, and I want to get started. > > You can check out these events at Activeusa.com > > Hunter T. .
