Triathlons Completed: None
Current Goals: Finish Half IM Syracuse NY

I put a triathlon on my bucket list about a year ago and picked the Syracuse Half, because I have family in the area. I bought a road bike and took swim lessons.

I've run marathons before, but I'm finding this three event thing is a whole different game! Training's going well. The swim is my very weak point and my goal is to just not drown. I'll start at the back of my wave and try to avoid getting run over by the follow on waves.

Good luck with your first Sprint. I set mine in Florida too, the St. Anthony's in St. Pete. I tried to pick the flattest place I could find
Let me know if you have any good tips to share after the race.

Hi Kathy,

Not sure I could manage the hills in North GA but I do like the Comet Trail. If you ever want another rider, I am available on weekends once it gets over 55 degrees
