Seafair Triathlon / STP anyone?

I am considering both of them, although I don't know that I have enough time to get the training done for STP....but I haven't ruled it out (unless registration is closed, then I won't be doing it).  I hear the Seafair Tri is fun, so I may do that.  I plan to sit down with the NW Competitor events issue and my calendar and actually make a realistic race plan. I am doing an Oly June 7 and hopefully at least one more after that.

What's your plan?

SeaFair was my first tri... back in 1984. Huge race then. I was in the second-to-last wave (no rhyme or reason to the waves other than registration order). Something like 1100 people doing the race.

I'll be skipping this one, though. Just too big. Huge events like these just don't hold any allure to me, as far as racing them. Great spectator event though.

Did STP last year for the first time and had a great time. I opted for the one day ride and loved it.

My avatar pic is from somewhere in SW WA during STP last year. I will definitely be there again this year.

What was your time for the 1-day, and what was your average pace??

Is that how you got your screen name?  Ouch!

Here's the page out of my log from last years race. Actually, I chose the username when I was first starting to ride a couple years ago....

11h 04m 204.00 miles 18.43 Mi/hr

You didn't have to tell everyone you were laughing at my name!

Here's the deal for all to read: When I first started riding a couple years ago, I rode w/ my underwear on under my bike shorts! Hey.......I didn't know you were supposed to "free" things up a bit down there. I couldn't figure out why my "taint" was gettin' so sore until my brother pointed out this little bit of detail.

So..........now the whole world knows why my username is "Soretaint"

Since losing the "undies" under my bike shorts, I am happy to report that a "soretaint" is just a distant memory!
