She gets back on the Monday, irons all of my kit and then we fly out Wednesday ;-)
I hope that she will be doing it next year though as its a great intro to the sport, I am sure over half of the ladies that did it last year it was their first tri but the club holds OW swims and run groups etc in the run up to the race so you get the chance to try on wet suits and even borrow them for the race it they are needed.
The races (over 20) sell out within days they are that popular (and each race has a minium of 500).
In fact the Auckland race got some kind of record two years ago when 12,000 took part (team events as well as proper tri).
If any woman is thinking of giving tri a go then these races offer the perfect atmosphere for you. It doesn't matter what size or shape you are, or level of experience you have they are great fun.
Wish I lived closer!

Tri is an awesome event for women to get involved in. The scariest thing is getting started and posting off your first entry form.
