First Race of 2007??
When, Where, What distance is YOUR first race of 2007? Triathlon, Running, Biking, Swimming, Whatever!
First one of the year from me is going to be an indoor triathlon @ Creighton in April.
300M swim / 2500M Row / 2500M run.
It was pretty fun last year, and I plan on having the same amount of fun this year.
How about everyone else?!

It will be my first ever, not just 2007.
Cleveland Tri, olympic distance (assuming i get registered in time).
Been wanting to participate in a tri ever since i was a kid and watched Brad Bevan and Welchie on the tv back in the 90's in Aus. Lost sight of that goal for a number of years, i see it again, and im super excited to participate.

Sprint Distance in March. Can't remember the name of the race off the top of my head.
Indoor pool swim which I'm not too excited about because I really like open-water more. Then my first Oly for the year is in late April with an open-water swim.

Yeah, JP, saw it on tv as well. looked like a fun course if you're into abusing yourself. The hill you're talking about is a 0.7 mile monster they call "The Beast". Grade is from 14% to 18% max. Harder than any climb in the tour de france. Should be fun. Someone must be an ayn rand fan in Oklahoma if they're naming streets after john galt.
