2023 triathlon season thread

I know a few of us are active in triathlon so let's liven this place up! Post here with your goals, results and upcoming events for 2023 (and beyond).

As for me, I have already finished one this year, a sprint in Sarasota, FL. I did the Olympic there last year and the humidity almost killed me. I just can't cope with humidity anymore.
I have Rage (Las Vegas) tri end of next month. I decided to do the Olympic course for I don't know what reason.
I also plan to do Pumpkinman (also Las Vegas) at the end of October. That's a point-to-point with a hell of an elevation gain on the bike section so I'm only doing the sprint there.
I want to do the Santa Barbara long course again this year but they haven't opened registration yet. That's an unusual one because the lengths are longer than an Olympic but shorter than a Half.
And finally, I'm still training for my bucket Half, which I intend to complete next year. After that, I'm going to have to dial it back due to arthritis in my hips. The run kills me. Sprints aren't too bad but I will likely switch to aqua-bike events after I finish a Half.

I have a sprint and an Olympic coming up this summer. Training has been derailed over the last 3 weeks due to life and work, but am planning on hopping back into the saddle next week.

Good for you! Even the sprints take dedication. People who have never done a tri will not understand what goes into them. Keep at it and keep us posted.

I’m just happy to see some activity in the tri forum. A dedicated triathlete since the 80s, about 5-6 years ago I was forced to give up running for all intents and purposes because of a failing hip (which has now been replace), and now an impending knee replacement. I too would like to participate in some aquabike events…but they just don’t seem to be very plentiful.
