I am so imspired by all the IM reports. I want to sign up for one for the fall/spring of 2010. I would like some advice on which one would be a good first? I would probably do best in one that is a lake or bay swim and not a mass start if possible, a relatively flat bike and run. I bired a coach who has completed 7. She did The Great Floridian for her first but I understand the hills are brutal however the swim seems like it might work. I will be swimming on the outside anyway most likely. I have also started taking lessons to help me w/ my stroke technique.

Thanks
