New user 9 Melbourne, East Central Florida |  Subject: Joining in, a tale of woeHello everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mark DeCotis, a 52-year-old budding first-timer who came ohh so close to racing in his first event last weekend only to be sidetracked by a viral infection. The good news is the doc's exam discovered exercise-induced asthma (which explained a lot.) So, first tri will have to wait which gives me more time to work on my swim. In fact I am starting over with TI, doing first set of drills today. Meanwhile also will do my third century ride on 10/26. Live in Melbourne in East Central Florida. I am the sports editor for Florida Today newspaper's non-daily products, and the auto racing writer for the daily newspaper - Florida Today. I do a lot of writing about tris, running, cycling, for both sets of newspapers. |

| Central Louisiana | Subject: RE: Joining in, a tale of woe Don't get discouraged, things like that just build character and you'll just savor the moment even more when it happens. I am traveling to the good old state of Florida this weekend to do the Emerald Coast Sprint. It should be interesting, I have been sick for the last two weeks and the week before that I was out of town. Going to go and have a good time and try to finish another one. Can't wait to hear your first race report! Still Tri'n Michael |

And if that's not all, I've got a corneal transplant scheduled for oct. 30. I must have angered the tri gods. |

| Central Louisiana | Subject: RE: Joining in, a tale of woe I'll follow up with a race report from this last weekend, that deals with being sick and not getting to train but still going out to compete. Still Tri'n Michael |
