April 8, in Puyallup, WA. It's a real shorty - 400 yd pool swim indoors, 9 mile bike, 2 mile run. I'm not sure how the swim will be managed, given that the number of swimmers greatly exceeds the number of lanes. I suppose some sort of interval start.

I swam at Ala Moana Beach Park earlier this week. Not ideal but a pretty cool setup...too bad the water is so murky....it was only about 72 though...brrrrrrrrr.
Got propositioned by a Mahu on Kuhio...Yikes!!!

Um, the water is usualy still cold enough for our first race the first weekend of June to cause a couple cases of hypothermia....
Muskoka Long course-First weekend of june; 2km swim/60km bike/15km run
It is an IM qualifier, I am trying to get a spot for Florida. Not to many guys in the 18-24 category go for the spots, so I hope I have a chance.

First race? Hypothermic half marathon, Jan 29th.
First triathlon? There's an indoor swim one May 20th, but I'll likely skip it and have my first tri June 17th. (Even then, the water will still be very cold).

After dark, Waikiki is swarming with Mahus. Some of these guys are BIG! It can be a bit scary to be approached by a 6', 240 lb. Samoan/Hawaiian dude in a dress and full makeup.
Hopefully it will stop raining for at least a little while today so you can enjoy Hawaii winter. But looking at the sky this morning, I don't think so...
Have fun and stay dry - Aloha

Actually I was there Monday thru Thursday...I drove to the airport in the rain yesterday. The weather was actually nice for my visit but I spent most of it working. Got out for a couple of runs and swims. Should be back sometime soon.

I'm heading up to the Wildflower to do the off-road triathlon on May 5. I'll also be cheering for the other races - I have some friends doing those.

Careful, they get you hooked with those short cheap sprints, and before you know it, you'll be dishing out hundreds to race in an ironman. You need to get help before it's too late!
I'm joking of course, welcome to the sport.
