Finisher from Cleveland Ohio

Hello. I just found this site the other day. I am a finisher of Triathlons. Finishing a triathlon is a joy in it self.
I am 34. I have a 2-year-old son and a supportive wife. I love biking and swimming and I run because that is the only way to get to the finish of a triathlon. In 2001, I completed my first sprint triathlon. I then progress to two Olympic races in 2002 as well as a Marathon. In 2003, I finished a ½ IM as well as two IM races.
I was part of an email triathlon club in my area that has decided to move to the next level. This means dues and a more organized structure. I do not have an interest in improving my times or getting serious enough to have a trainer. One of the most fulfilling parts of this has been just doing the training on my own with the help of others doing the same so we can share our experiences with each other. I also have to add that one of my brothers did both the IM races with me and it was very cool to be abel to do that togehter.
For me a race is a bookmark in time that consists of a story that got you there. A finish time means very little to me. The story that goes with that time is what I love to read about and share with others.
I look forward reading and sharing some great stories with all of you.
