Ready to Tri Something New?

There have been several team members who are discussing doing the White Lake Triathlon this coming May. The race as you would guess is located in White Lake, North Carolina and is part of the North Carolina Triathlon series. There is a Half Iron Man, and also a Sprint Triathlon. The Half is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run. The Sprint is a 750 meter swim, 14 mile bike, and a 5k run.

I know many of you will have the same reaction that I had. . . "I can't do a triathlon!" Well, if I asked many of you about doing a marathon at this time last year, you would have said "I can't do a marathon", but you did! So don't say no too quickly. Click on the links and check it out. If you start getting butterflies in your stomach, that is a sign you should do it.

Most of us would never do something like this on our own, so why not do it with your running buddies! If you don't have a bike, don't worry. The Sprint is short enough where you can do a lot of the bike training at the YMCA. We know enough people in Rocky Mount where we can either find you a deal, or at least let you borrow a bike for the race.

Registration opens January 2nd at 12:00 p.m. Both the Half and Sprint sell out very quickly (within days if things are slow). So you will need to act fast if you want to join in the fun.
