Subject: Am I Really Going To Do This AGAIN? Hey Everyone! Well, after seeing my wife cross the finish line at the Florida Ironman last weekend (she's LisaF in the Beginner Triathlete forums) I've decided to get back into the Triathlon scene. I tell you, the WHOLE experience was truly amazing and awesome and I realized that I am going to enjoy and live my life to the fullest! I also had the pleasure of meeting some great people from the Beginner Triathlete site that weekend (Hi everyone). I am now 42 years old and my wife and I both started in Triathlon while dating ten years ago in Texas. We both just did sprint distances back then but she has since surpassed that and has completed Olympic, half Ironman and now an Ironman. My last tri was in 2000 and I basically quit doing them because I really, I mean REALLY hate to swim plus we had two new children born and a job relocation. I've tried to keep some form of physical activity by running and since 2004 I've completed a bunch of 5 & 10Ks, a couple of half marathons, and the Memphis St. Jude Marathon in 2006. I'm looking forward to the participation with everyone on this site and the camaraderie of the Triathlon community. I CAN DO THIS again, right? |
