Congratulations on finishing your first race! Have you decided on your next race --have you been bitten by the "tri bug?":)

I have been bitten. I have already signed up for a total immersion swim workshop and am looking forward to another sprint in September. I would love to do the 1/2 ironman next year at the Spirit of Racine which is where I completed my first, I wondering if it's too much and should keep doing a few more sprints but what do I have to loose???

First off, congrats! Not only did you finish, but you went and signed up for another--that's great!
I think a HIM in 1 year is realistic. You have nothing to lose -- though you may find yourself losing some pounds, inches, and self-doubts. :) Keep working out through the winter, find a good training program to start in the spring, learn about race nutrition, and you'll be fine. I would suggest doing an Olympic before the 1/2--maybe Elkhart Lake or Lake Geneva in June? Olys are big fun.

First off congratulations!! Going from Sprint to HIM would be fine,you just need to train. I went from 3 Sprints my first season to a IM the next so anything is possible.
