i live in a small-ish city with a small-ish tri community. there is a local women’s only triathlon which started out as a try-a-tri only to get people into the sport. and the race has since expanded to a sprint and a try-a-tri.
do you think seasoned triathletes should sign up for this? what are your opinions?
We have a Tri for Fun series here and about 1/2 the entrants are first timers, but some pros show up to get in a speed workout (there are no recorded finish times or awards). The race tells all the competitive people to go in the first wave…that keeps beginners from getting too washing machined in the swim.
