If anyone is looking to do their first Triathlon this year, I highly recommend getting your feet wet (pun intended) at the Canby Gator Grinder Sprint Triathlon. It's a pool swim, so no wetsuit required and it's for a good cause. It is one of the very Family Oriented triathlons in the area, and even has a Mt Bike division.

But don't let that fool you. The field includes serious athletes from all levels, Sprint distance to Ironman.

As of last night, they still had 50 spots available, as the race caps-out at 240 competitors.

TRI it, you might like it!! Sign up here: Canby Gator Grinder

DANG! I just saw this and now it's full.

My plan so far is the Beaver Freezer Tri

Newport Marathon in May
Then maybe Helvatia Half
Then Blue Lake Tri
The Monster Cookie Half Century
Then Cascade Lakes Relay
Then Watermelon Century
Then Peach Century
Then PDX Marathon

(they might be in a different order than what's listed above but it should be close)

And maybe a few others mixed in between....too many events, so little time! I'd like another tri or two in there this next year...
