Subject: New to Tri - in Tucson Hey all,
First off, gotta compliment everyone on this board - been reading up on Triathlon for a couple weeks, including this board, and everyone here seems very helpful!
Thought I'd look into doing a sprint triathlon - probably the Tucson Triathlon, assuming it's in March '07 again. I'd consider the upcoming Tinfoilman in October, but wife and I just had our first baby three weeks ago, so hesitant to jump right in. Starting out, I'm in decent shape, been lifting weights routinely for a couple years, but haven't done much aerobic stuff. So, starting on my running - aiming to run 2 mi confortable, and will be starting to swim soon, after I get some goggles, cap, suit. Figured I'd start with some of the city pools for laps- opinions on where to go in Tucson? I live on the west side (Grant/Silverbell ) and work at Raytheon - found a couple possibilities already. Starting to scope out some good running/biking routes too. Biking will be new to me as well, especially sharing the road!
Anyway, thought I'd say hey!
