Hello from Denver!

Hey Everyone!

Back in January I started training for my first triathlon, an Xterra off-road tri (1K swim, 31K mtb ride, 10K run) on July 18 in Keystone, CO. I recently looked at the calendar and started to panic that I only had about seven weeks left before the race.

I come mainly from a running and mountain biking background and the fear of drowning is still learking in the back of my mind. So that's when I started looking at different websites and found this one full of great advice and information! I really want to get the feel for a triathlon before the one in July. I found an off-road tri on June 19, which has both a sprint and olympic distance race. I can't decide which distance (if any) to sign up for.

Any and all advice for this BT is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
