Any triathletes here?

Bringing back a post from the dead....

Just finished my first tri of the season.... The bike portion is MTB and it kicked my tail. I was not prepared like I should have been, but I didn't die.... The climbing really took it out of my legs, I have only been on the MTB 1 time since the Fall and my legs felt it.(have been doing some road riding, mostly work commute)

Anyway.... Tis the season for triathlons....

Now it is time to start drinking beer and pick myself out a nice "finished" cigar....

Nice!

Now that you've done the dirt tri, you'll have to take a look at the Xterra events! Plus, depending where you are, there are probably tons of other dirt tris... for example in Tempe there is the Pabst Blue Ribbon Off-Road Tri.

Xterra is the way to go - I have yet to do a road tri... dirt is just too much fun!

(also, CBS recently played the 2010 Xterra USA Championships... maybe they'll roll it again so keep an eye on mid-day weekend programming)

XTERRA USA Championships here in September.

Maybe I'll go ride the Sport route in June and see if it is worth getting signed up....
