It's cold here in Newfoundland so I hear ya! It's balmy today at 8 degrees celsius. The ice is off my lake so I may "try" an open water this weekend, but it won't be pleasant! I have frostbitten feet on my bike in May here. We have the icebergs to make the wind chillier than normal, although really pretty to ride past. Good luck!

Welcome to Trifuel :)
It's nice and warm here in Ontario (a city in Southern CA!)
I'll be doing a half IM up your way this year, and my fiance is from there. Beautiful place!

Kylie - must be Peterborough? I am debating about entering that one!
diva_mom - Hockey mom or watching playoffs or both? Either way the season is fast approaching!

Peterborough is a great 1/2 IM to start out at. I have done it 3 times, and will be back for a 4th. Not to crowded at the start.
Do you race a lot in the subaru series?

In Canada, the water is either cold or frozen! Man, I am just iching to get into some outdoor training, but mother nature won't let me outside to play until I finish my vegetables! There has been some nice days, but I am a total cold weather wimp.
OK, so a little about me - I have been in the sport for years, and wish to get into some longer courses (olympic distances and up - no IM just yet!). My strongest event has always been the swim, but I am REALLY trying to work on the bike this year. My wife also does triathlon, and our oldest boy (4 years) may do his first kids of steel this summer!
I am amazed by the increase in participation in this sport over the years. I had no idea there were so many tri-geeks out there. Oh, speaking of "geeks" I am a professional accountant who loves computers and making money. Visit my web site and see for yourself: www.4eyeson.com
Look forward to many interesting discussions!
