Normally, I would have completed one race in the month of May but procrastination has bit me where the sun doesn't shine and Rob and I were boxed out of Terre Haute Triathlon - "Thunder in the Valley."
The Terre Haute Triathlon is a great first race. Since it is in middle of Indiana, the weather is normally warm - 80's. The swim portion is in a nice small lake that is normally and smooth. In the two years that I have competed, I used a wetsuit one time.
The first time I competed in this race, Rob told me that it was not hilly...not true. The bike portion is nice but hilly. I guess that statement is relative because Chicago is flat...really flat and any slight incline such as an overpass is labeled a "hill."
The run portion is within a running path and ends through the woods and up a hill.
All in all, it is a great first race to gauge your training. Normally, I conclude that I have not trained enough.
