Against my better judgement I signed up for the Seafair triathlon this year. Its a sprint or super sprint tri, meaning:
0.5 or 0.25 mile swim (sprint vs super sprint... and also the object of my concern!)
12.4 mile bike (up to Madison Beach and back)
5 km run (around Seward Park)
It’s a fun time (mostly... except that swim!).
There is also a duathelon - only biking and running option avaialble!
