Iron Girl Columbia Women's Triathlon (Page 5)

Congratulations to everyone....it was a blast wasn't it?  I finished sub 3 hours which was my goal.....I'm a bit sore today but otherwise feel good.

 My next race is a Tri relay with my husband...Big Lick on September 22nd. 

I was waiting to see how I did in this one before signing up for another one.  Now I think I may be hooked! 

I was considering the General Smallwood Sprint on Sept. 23 and maybe the Osprey on Oct. 6.  I have two people I know doing the Smallwood one, so I think that's what I'll do next.  Who knows, maybe I'll do both!  I'd like to try a Sprint triathlon with little or no hills to see how I do! 

Even though I missed meeting a lot of you in person, it's been great learning about all of you through your training logs and blogs.  I hope we can all continue to inspire each other!  We're Iron Girls!

Sounds intriguing. Has anyone done this one and have info on the bike and run courses? Is a wetsuit necessary? 

Here's a link for the Smallwood Sprint - http://www.setupevents.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=event_detail&eventID=675</font></blockquote><blockquote>

There's also an Olympic distance race the day before the Sprint.  They give an award if you do both.  I don't think I'm that crazy yet!

Brenda (crabsrule) has done Osprey.  Here's a link to the website - http://www.mdcoastalbays.org/osprey/info.php

I've done the signup to be notified when the pictures are ready, but I haven't heard anything yet. Results have been up since Sunday evening .

My next race is a Danskin in Sandy Hook NJ (9/16) - it's flat, flat, flat - woohooo.  And, after making it through Columbia I'd better crush my time from last year   I'm also planning to do the Osprey 10/6, I did it last year and wore a wetsuit.  There were several people that did the race without one, but I thought the water was pretty darn cold.  It's also a nice flat course, although the wind can be an issue on the bike since it right on the Coastal Bays.   

If you want to do a fall tri and not sink a bunch of money in a wetsuit - check ebay.  I got mine there - it wasn't super cheap, but much better than buying new.  Also Laurie (klgray) bought her trisuit from someone on this site.  I don't know where she found it, but you could PM her to get the details.  Also check in w/ Reji (mswrites) she got some sort of super deal on a new suit through BT this spring. 

Hope every one is dong great post race.  I'm so surprised I'm not sore!!!!
