Looking to find other RI tri folk to meet, train, doing stuff, etc. etc. . Live in the Eastside neighborhood in Providence. Doing the Block Island Tri Sprint as my "first" tri and very nervous about it. Work out at the eastside Y and have a superb personal trainer (recommend!) who has kicked my butt into shape in just 4 months. Now ready for first tri but need to buy a bike!! Fun!

Thanks! I'm wondering based on these boards if the Tri community is kinda smallish in Rhode Island. Not a lot of action on the RI boards...

Hey toshman,

I'm also a tri newb in RI. I'm targeting the Wild Dog Sprint in Aug as my first tri and have been self training for about a month. Except for the pool all of my bike and run routes are out and back from the house. I wouldn't mind a partner for some OWS prior to the real thing. Are you planning on getting to the beach prior to your event?

I'm a MA guy but live right on the RI line... there definitely doesn't seem to be a lot of Tri love in RI yet.

I used to live in your neighborhood! I bought my first bike at Providence Bicycle six years ago. Welcome!

Yes, I would be interested in meeting for some OWS prior to the real event too. I don't yet have a wetsuit but will be getting one within the next week or two. I still need to get my bike ordered which is going to happen this weekend. Anyway, I've been training in the neighborhood in terms of running and running and swimming at the East Side YMCA. I would be good for OWS in July (say the weekend after the 4th if I get my wetsuit by than).
