Addendum to the above: I lived and worked in CT, 10 miles west of Hartford. In order to compete in triathlons both sprint and Olympic distance I had to learn to like running distance again. It wasn't easy. It hurt a lot. Sprint distances were usually a 5k (3.1 miles) and 10 k (6.2miles). But I got used to it. My least favorite of the three legs. At the time I was in a relationship with an All American rated triathlete. She also sold bikes for Fuji and one of their line was a Titanium model. She was also a domestique in bike racing for women. Very, very, good overall - so she arranged for me to get an almost weighs nothing Fuji Titanium if I worked with her in the swim. It was a great five year run. Then I became a race director of the largest in terms of people attending and competing Olympic Distance event that qualified you for the National Championship usually 500 athletes showed each year. It was almost a full time gig just being in that position. Attended race director conferences in Colorado Springs every year for 7 years. Wanna get tired really fast? Fly into Colorado Springs and have a rep from USA Triathlon invite you to work out in the pool with them the first day. I fell into their trap not taking into account the ALTITUDE. Didn't swim at all the first night. They laughed at me for the entire week of the conference. :)
