The Newby

Oh Hey Yo,

Let me tell everyone, I'm glad that my friend showed me this website. They have this cool website thing for hikers, but I was looking for one that triathletes could go to. Wouldn't ya know!

Welp, I'm a 22 year old male that is currently planning on doing four triathlons this coming summer. I believe that it is going to be one of the biggest physical undertakings I have ever done. My freshman year of college I ran my first and only marathon. It was a decent time. It was going to be followed up the next year with another marathon and hopefully a trip to Boston, but that never happened. Humid weather, too many miles, and too much work all led to a giant distaste for running. Looking for a switch my friend told me I should try a triathlon.

This is what I was looking for. I didn't have to focus on running all the time. I could put all my efforts all over the place. MM! What a great sport. After my first triathlon, since I didn't have a girlfriend, I would have to say that it was the love in my life. That's all I could look forward to, as I am now. Sometimes school doesn't really matter because I think to myself, I need to swim and bike today before I start my homework.

I would just like to say that I'm excited for the coming summer and I'm also geeked that I have found a place to go with questions. I hope that all of you do well in your coming triathlons. Later on.
