...My husband heard there is a triathlon in the area (or maybe Destin or PCB?) in October. Anyone have dates, location, further info?
Thanks in advance!
Assuming we decide to brave all the sharks, hurricanes, yellow flies, rabid dogs, and 100-plus degree temperatures that we all know occur throughout the month of October ...

You've got a couple to pick from.
Destin Crab Trap- sprint distance. Not USAT, but still very well run. (I think the McSheehys got sick of dealing with the USAT paperwork) According to an e-mail I just got, they're close to selling out. Lots of local racers. Hopefully we'll get better weather this year.

Emerald Coast Sprint #4- Panama City Beach. USAT. Also pretty low key. The complaints I hear about the course is that you have to be very careful on the bike because of all the driveway cuts and traffic on course.

Sunny Hills Sprint- first year race north of PCB. Since it's not a beach race, you'll probably not have as interesting of a swim, but a much better bike course.

Rumor has it that Ironman Florida is a go for 2006 if anyone's interested in the really long stuff. (Not for me though. I liked doing Gulf Coast, but I have no desire to go twice that far)
