Subject: Newbie in NY
Hi, my name is Jason. I live in Glenville NY and have been competing in triathlons for 1 season. I started out racing mountain bikes all through college. As I got older I thought about doing a tri but was always scared to take the leap.

Last May I finally said what the heck and did my first race. I have to say after the first time I was totally addicted. I have this disorder (we’ll call it). I start something and get so involved it seems to take over my life. Triathlons and training has done it for me now. It has changed my life and made me push myself harder then I thought I could.

My goal last year was only to race in 1 or 2 races. 7 races later I am training for a Half Ironman with hopes of someday competing in the Ironman Lake Placid.
Only a few more months and the real season starts and I see how well my off season training worked….

Welcome. Isn't Glenville in the capital region? My in-laws are from Albany. I don't know much about doing tris there, but I do know that they have some serious runners. Thanks for joining BT!

Hey Jason -

Welcome to BT! Sounds like you have quite a season ahead. Hope to run into you sometime at a local race -maybe the IMLP -it's on my wishlist too! Happy Training!

Jason,
I'm very new to the board, and relatively new to tri's (2 seasons). I'm making last minute purchases for my trip to AZ for the Ironman on April 13th.

The Capital Region has a ton of great events and a great network of people. I'm sure I'll see you at one of the events, this summer.
