I’ve only recently (past year or so) gotten back into running after enduring a hip replacement (right) seven years ago, followed by my (left) knee going bad, and then getting replaced 1 ½ year ago. But I’m slow. Like 10-11 minutes per mile pace slow. After several years of not doing any racing (other than swimming), last summer I finally participated in a sprint tri. But, searching for THAT race, I was dismayed by how much the cost of tri registration has increased in the past 5-6 years. Which I just don’t ‘get’ but that’s a different conversation. Anyway…I’ll probably look again at that sprint I did last summer, and for any other local (sprint, maybe Oly) races that don’t break the bank. I am signed up for a 2-mile open water fundraiser swim put on by a local environmental organization that I swim every year (this year will be my 25th). And a 2-day/100 mile ride I do ever fall. So…whatever else I can find that suits my expenses, and calendar. — Dan
