Hi Everybody

 

My name is Stephen.  I did my first triathlon last year as a way to get off the couch and get in shape/try and find a new hobby.  The short version of the story is. . . . I'm hooked.

 

Did the Florida 70.3 in May last year and then the intermediate distance of the Great Floridian Triathlon in October.  Both races were so much fun!  The atmosphere was amazing.  I am in australia for a year and doing the Port Maquarie 70.3 in November and hope to be back in Florida for 70.3 at Disney in 2012.

 

This website has been a great resource for training/nutrition/equipment tips and advice so thanks to all the posters that have helped me get this far!

A couple more halfs and you will be really itching, I bet.

Have another tip for you ... A good way to get to know others on BT and keep accountable in training is to join one of the challenges ... you set your own goals and see how far you can get:http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=266821&start=1
