Anyone in Halifax new to this Crazy Sport

hey.

I have been looking to push into tri's over the last two years but have stuck with running but this year I'm going to take the step and do some sprints.

Rice.

I am not from Halifax but close...Truro. Did my first event last summer in New Glasgow - Sprint on Aug 17th. I am definitely new to the Triathlon scene as I never even knew what the sport was until around the end of June 08.

I'm new, from just outside Halifax
Haven't even trained yet, but was always very physically active when I was younger.  I'm having knee surgery in Feb, and I'm planning on starting to train after recovery.

I am super new..as in haven't done my first race.  I have been working out but had no goal in mind.  I remember alays watching the Kona Ironman and wondered how you would get into that.  Then I became a working stiff and moved to Pictou County where they have a Marathon and a Tri-Club at the Y.  Well that was it I was going too do it...then I finally sold my house building a new one and living with two kids my wife and a dog in a two bedroom apt.  so my training fell to the wayside.  Then out of the blue the other morning while staying at my in-laws my wife said..let's go for a run.  I didn't realise how out of shape I am..my legs felt like lead and my lungs were on fire.  Long road a head for my first tri next summer....

also wanted to do adventure races but the popularity of those died when Mark Burnett shifted from Eco-Challenge too Survivor...
