Hi Joan,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

We set up a section lists triathlons by state. From that page were pulled out two triathlons that we think would be a great fit for a beginner triathlete:

• 2010 Danskin Triathlon - Sprint
• Tri the Rim - Sprint

I have personally competed in the Danskin Mini-Triathlon in my area twice and found it to be the most amazing atmosphere for a beginner.

Good luck with your training and please email us if you have any other questions.

Be well.

Hi Joan,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

Good follow up question. We posted the Danskin event on the Colorado page because last year's schedule had a listing in that state. If the 2011 schedule is posted and it's not on there, it's safe to assume that they are not holding it in Colorado this year and you'll have to pick an alternate event to aim for.

If they don't have this year's list posted, the exact dates for 2011 triathlons will probably come out in early 2011 (Dec-Feb). We suggest you do the following to make sure you don't miss out on the registration (and this will work for other beginner triathletes who have a specific triathlon event in mind):

• Bookmark that website
• Set a reminder to check it a few times until they post the schedule
• If you can find the date for last year’s event, it’s pretty safe to aim for the same date, as they tend to hold them at the same time in the same place.
• The other thing you can do is call or email Danskin (or the event company). They can tell you when the schedule is coming out even if they can’t tell you the exact dates right now.

Just remember, most of the well-run, fun triathlons sell out pretty quickly, so you want to be sure to follow the advice above so you don't miss out!

Just as a side note, we normally go through our triathlon event pages in Jan/Feb to update our schedules. The list is based on last year's listings.

Be well.
