"This was my first tri and it was a great intro. It's only open to women and is a sprint course. VERY hilly. All the women cheer each other on, there is no competition, just pure fun. They have a Dress Rehearsal a few weeks prior when you can go on the course and check everything out.

On the run, there is a STEEP hill right after you begin that's hidden because you have to take a jack-knife like turn -- be ready for it. It's also a 3.4 mile run so you can get to the end party (no need to walk that .3 -- just get there faster).
Definitely a great into to tris.
Note -- it's become very popular and closes quickly.
