I'll probably do that one too - it will be my fourth (or maybe even
fifth if there's another sprint nearby between now and then). I did
two sprints last year, and just did the Buster Britton Memorial Tri
yesterday. I ought to write a race report...

Don't go by what you see on TV. If you've followed much of the
threads here on RST, you know those aren't real triathlons anyway (why
not? see my next answer...)

Right here. If you read rec.sport.triathlon long enough, you learn
that there are only three rules, and they all apply to the bike
portion of a tri: 1) No Drafting. 2) No Drafting. 3) No Drafting.
