 9 |  Subject: Jacksonville N00bHey all. I'm 38, and took up running 5-6 years ago (after doing track in high school, and one marathon in 2001). But, chronic calf problem has limited my running, so I'm transitioning (ha!) into triathlon. Signed up for my first sprint on Apr 4, the Egg Hunt in Pembroke Pines Fl. I'm excited, reading a lot, trying to train a lot, although it's been terrible finding a pool here to swim in. My wife finally suggested I take what I would have spent on a YMCA membership and just buy an entry-level wetsuit to swim in the outdoor unheated pool in this building. Anyway, been having fun reading the race reports. |

| 9 | Subject: RE: Jacksonville N00b Once I realized swimming in chlorine would void my warranty, I backed off the wetsuit purchase. (Don't want to drive to the beach every day to swim in the ocean with it.) JAX weather should warm up in another week and I'll just brave the pool without one. 5.5 weeks to my sprint, so I'm fine, I think. And now I'm a little at a loss about what I need for the actual tri. Tri-suit? Not sure I want to commit to that. |
