Subject: SAHM tri-ing to stay in shape and keep her sanity
Hello Everyone, my wonderful friends have talked me into participating in Sprint Triathlons. What was I thinking when I can't even swim and I can barely bike. Anyway, I survived the Lake Murray Tri in May and I just finished Series #1 in the Charleston Sprint Series. Now, that I am hooked, I am looking for my 3rd event. I am thinking about Tri the Pee Dee or the J.F Hurley Formula 1 Sprint. I am worried about the Pee Dee because a portion of it is on a dirt road. Since I am not "steady freddy" on my bike this worries me. Has anyone participated in this event?

Any tips for swimming and my transition times suck.

Good luck and Welcome!

ps...practice transitions in your living room or lawn...really.  Setup your area, bike, layout of gear.  Go through the actual transition...you will get faster.
