Looking for inspiration for Olympic Triathlon 2013

I've completed four sprints and many 5K's and it's time for an Olympic Distance in 2013. I'm looking for others that want to do an olympic distance or those with experience in training/racing this distance.

Send me friend requests...I've got a few friends that do them, but not many to gab with and share tall tales of cramped feet, dropped waterbottles, ripped race tags.

Thanks!

    I did 2 sprints this summer, and I definitely would love to do an Oly next summer! I'll add you!
  • Thanks, looking forward to your workout posts!

    I have done a few Olympics and of them all - The Nations Tri in DC is by far one of the best races I have ever experienced.
    Just the fact that they close the parkway and you get to tear *kitten* down it on your bike is just killer. The run is thru the park and around the monuments - the scenery alone is great.
    Already signed up for that one again this year!

    I've done a handful of tri's (up to a half-IM so far!), a couple of them Olympic distance. I would love to have more tri friends! Sending a request your way :)

    Doing my first olympic this summer. My oldest is doing it with me. She is an athlete - I just try to finish without dying. I have done several sprints and this year I will push myself to do a 30k trail run as well.

    My race isn't until August so I would love to connect and share training ideas, accountability, etc.

    I'm hoping to be doing Oly distance by late summer early fall.
