If I recall it opens in December, the 1st sounds familiar. I'm going to wait to sign up again to wait to see if we get any rain in December and January.

WFLC as your first tri??? OUCH!!

Personally, I'd wait and see if they have any water before you sign up. I did it this year and it was a decidedly sub-optimal experience :-(
I'll agree w/the first tri comment above - in '89 it was my first "half" but gee wiz I'd been racing for 4 years (even went to Hilton Head) before that. Amazes me, but, somehow people do things like WFLC and IM's as their first tri - and, live to do another.

Re: Last year. My performance wasn't great, but I thought it was still a good race. Given the conditions, etc. If the water level is the same or better as last year, it should be the usual fun/hard event.

Most important - cross your fingers for serious rain statewide (make that the West in general). Even if you're from the east - lot's of your food grows here, and, if farmers hurt here, so will the wallet in your back pocket. :-|

Used to sell out (at least the long course), but about two years ago, WTC turned St. George into a 70.3 and it's the same weekend, so that takes away much of the potential pool of racers in the southwest. That's when WF stopped selling out.
