You can do the same with any fancy fun place. Kids loved Corral Reef and same thing we used tickets and then you automatically get an appetizer, entree, and dessert no matter what the cost. $48 steak or $12 salad all covered. Rambling but my hubby is all over making the dining plan "work" for you. Excited for you! You are amazing with all your training!! You can do this!H Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695646661289938406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-38622744821002077672012-01-19T15:14:56.973-05:002012-01-19T15:14:56.973-05:00I agree, triathlon is expensive but so worth it.

I HATE putting stuff in my jersey b/c it's just so uncomfortable! <br />Anyways, the way I think about spending money on the sport, is that doing triathlons is something I'm going to do year after year. The start up costs can be pricey, but once you get the stuff you need, you'll be able to use it year after year!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553067128072502179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-32551806834448532462012-01-19T12:16:42.216-05:002012-01-19T12:16:42.216-05:00Oh my goodness, I never thought about packing a bi...Oh my goodness, I never thought about packing a bike cross country.

If I drank then money would go there. If I played squash then money would go there, instead it goes to triathlon.<br /><br />That being said there are certainly ways to cut costs and you don't NEED a bento box. You can just put the stuff in your cycling jersey.<br /><br />For goggles get yourself the TYR Nest Pro. The best goggle out there that doesn't leave you with raccoon eyes. I have a review on my blog just search for TYR Nest Pro.<br /><br />I had one pair for over a year and just a couple of weeks ago bought a second pair. They are about $25 but for 12 months that is only $2/month. Well worth the investment.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732829991335734426.post-29739222551596568762012-01-19T11:57:58.263-05:002012-01-19T11:57:58.263-05:00I consider myself SO lucky that I won a tri bike i...I consider myself SO lucky that I won a tri bike in a contest.
