Hello All -

I'm going to be doing my first triathlon at the end of July in Philadelphia.
It's a sub-olympic length race, (1/2 mile swim, 17 mile bike, 4 mile run).
I've been training a bunch for it, and it seems to me that it's a lot of
training for just one event. So I'd like to follow it up with another one
afterwards. This leads to some questions.

General:
When would be the ideal time to do a second race? I want to give my body
time to recover, but also want to take advantage of all the conditioning
I've been doing.

I think one week is too short for me (and probably you if this is your
first one) but two weeks should be fine.

Specific:
What would be a good race? Preferably, I'd do an olympic distance one the
second time out. (My sense is that in a triathlon context, my maximum swim
distance would be 1 mile, and running around 8 miles; biking is my strong
suit so I'm not worried about distance there).
I'm not going to fly to go to any, but would be willing to drive a half-day
or so (the less driving the better) and stay overnight. Starting point is
Philadelphia. And, obviously, it would have to be something that isn't
already full.

Here is one in PA that sounds good.

I live in PA, as well, and am going to sign up for that one. But there
are also a lot in delaware, etc. Check there and MD for ones that are
close.
