Aquathlon, anyone?

They are actually great workout events for both open water swimmers and for tri-folk. For swimmers, the events are usually mid-week in the evening so you can do just the swim and get a mid-week short race under your belt. Its a nice double to a pool morning workout. I hate to run so usually don't do it, but if I was a better person, I would do it because its certainly not going to hurt my swimming to do a little running. For tri-folk, its a double sport workout that gives you a combination workout and a chance to work on transitioning. There are series in San Diego, Playa del Rey(in Los Angeles) and Nite Moves in Santa Barbara, which may be the first series although I'm not sure. I've done those, and the ones in Boulder and South Denver on trips. Usually a fun, social event. Regarding the transition, most people run in their swim suit and have a multi-sport suit for that purpose and throw a shirt over it. Most tri-folk are wearing wet suits so thats a complication too, of course. Good luck
