Very exciting.

This year, Trek is starting a new Women's Triathlon series- and they just announced the schedule (sort of):

Races in Cities & Venues you Love*
April	Arizona
May	Florida
	Texas
June	Southern California
	Colorado
July	Wisconsin
	Massachusetts
Aug.	Washington
	Northern California
Sept.	New York Metro
	Washington, DC

*Schedule is as of Nov. 2008; subject to change.

Once they post the actual dates, I hope to be able to do both the NY Metro and DC (depending on cost)- I also hope they plan well with the Nation's Triathlon in DC on September 13. If they are on consecutive weekends, maybe I can work it out to work from DC that week so I can do both.

Very exciting. I still get way more excited about sprint options (with a long-ish swim) than the idea of the half-ironman.
