Decided not to race today - difficult decision - didn't decide until I got there and even set up my transition area. I feel that if it were only the bike and run events, I could have done the race, but did not feel strong enough to swim almost 1 mile first and there was a strong headwind after the turnarouind for the swim course. Kind of disappointed. I did get to take lots of pictures of the rest of the team during the race, and that was fun.

Perhaps better safe than sorry. Swimming is so hard and not best to do if you don't feel confident. So can you tell me more about your triathlon team? Do you train together and compete together? Do team members live close to you?

Yeah, I am mostly glad I did not race that day...just need to keep working on the swimming fitness. As far as the triathlon team - it is a great group of people, and the team accepts all levels of triathletes. They post a schedule of workouts, such as group cycling, and members just meet up with the group. There was a regular open-water swim practice last year but we've lost our venue, and there aren't that many good lakes around here, so we haven't picked up another one yet. Anyway, the requirements for being on the team are the yearly dues and to race in one club series USAT race during the season.
