Subject: Greetings from Duham, CA What a fantastic site. I just discovered it this morning, and I have spent two hours so far reading all the great info and comments. I too am a "newbie" to Tri's and exercise in general. Typical story of being in good shape in college, then gradually let physical fitness go downhill, until I literally could not run to my mailbox without being winded. Two years ago decided to try to run an mile (it took me 15 minutes ). Since then I have ran several 5K's, done two Sprint Tri relays, and one Try 4 fun (all events ). Also finished a 1/2 marathon on January 1 (2hrs 15 minutes ).
I just recently broke a 7 minute mile, my next goal is a 6 minute mile, and to complete a marathon and a Tri before I reach 45!!!
Keep up the great information,
Dennis
