As I mentioned in my last thread, my first tri (a sprint) is in march. How should I register? What is the difference between registering as a novice and an age grouper? I'm anxious to get signed up but could not find any info on the USAT site about what qualifies one for the novice category. I naturally assumed that since I have never competed in a tri, that is what I should do. Am I correct in this assumption?
