I've done Eppies twice, and plan on doing it this year as well. It's a fun race. The bike is flat and the kayak portion is more of a float down the river. The bike training will work for Treasure Island, have done that 3 times now, as it is flat also. Either way the boat portion is just cross training for Treasure Island. You will definitely have fun.
My goal for my first tri is the Treasure Island Sprint in Nov. I'm fairly sure I'll be in shape in time for that.
However, I've never done a bike event, so I was considering doing just the bike part of Eppies Great race (5.8 run, 12 bike, 6 boat) in July, just to get the feel of it, check out a tri. My wife and brother will probably do the other legs. Does this sound like a good idea?
On the off chance that my brother bails, I'd consider doing the boat part, but I'm not sure if throwing in training for that would be a good idea.
