Way to give back to the community! You never know, you just might have inspired the next Chrissie Wellington!

Sorry, I'd be too tempted to give bad advice on purpose knowing that their poor performance will help my overall rank:
"Wear underwear under your cycling shorts, you pervert."
"Don't drink anything when you race. You'll get water-logged. But eat lots of Gu."
"You don't really need googles in a lake."
"Don't take a tire kit. They are too too heavy."
"Dude, don't shave your legs! No one else does."
"Be sure to wear your race number when you swim."
"You probably don't really need to go to the bathroom. It's just nerves."
"It's easy to put on a dry shirt when you are wet in T1."
"Every race has wetsuit strippers."
"Race in your t-shirt from packet pick-up."
"Don't worry about the mount/dismount lines. They are just suggestions."
"Always ride in your aero bars at all times."
"Go out really, really fast and try to maintain your pace."
"Cotton breathes. It's such a great fabric."
"Bloody nipples are a myth."
And my personal favorite, "Fiber. You need lots, and lots of fiber," because as Jim Rome once said, "Diarhrea is the great equalizer."

Great job organizing! Check the USAT site about grants for developing triathlon in your community. Here's a link http://www.usatriathlon.org/blog/post/689 Good luck! I'm not in Midwest Region, so there's no competition from me.

I have had the greatest conversations over the past few weeks. I started running with a new guy at my gym, and naturally we started talking about tris. He signed up for one at the end of the month and so I get all the questions.
A while after that started, I helped organize part of a kids tri in my community and a couple of the parents came up to me and asked how they can get started.
Today, a teacher at my daughter's school, called and asked me how she and a bunch of her friends (who were scared to call me) should go about training and signing up for their 1st tri.
I am SOOO psyched that triathlon is booming in my community and I LOVE that I am the expert people are turning to. :)
