Name:  Stacey
Age:   gonna be 40 soon!
Hometown:  Lithonia
City\Town:  Johns Creek
Favorite Training Places:  currently work out often at Lifetime in Alpharetta and Johns Creek, looking to start some outdoor training now to prepare for tri.
Triathlons Completed:  none, going for my first in May
Current Goals:  I have been a regular gym goer for a little over 2 years now.  I am very proud what I have accomplished in those two years.  I joined to be a better/healthier mom (I have 3 kids) and it has become my new addiction.  I have to admit I'm a bit of a group fitness junkie, but I decided I needed a new goal for the new year and have always wanted to do a tri.  I'm planning my first sprint tri at Lake Lanier May 20th.  I'm REALLY hoping I love this bc I would love to do an oly tri next.  I would love to find some groups of people working out.  I'm a little nervous about the biking.  I would mountain bike pretty often before kids, but have never biked on the roads.  Oh, a little weight loss from training would be great too!  = )

Current Goals:
Earn the moniker "40-year-old first-time triathlete," specifically a sprint in March and an Olympic in May. Go from zero to competent on the bike. Go from used-to-be-good to is-good on the swim. Go from mid-pack to...front-of-the-mid-pack on the run. Decide if I'm sticking with this and do so before laying down big bucks for a new bike.

I have just moved back to Atlanta after living in Florida for 8 years. I am looking forward to riding on land that is not quite so flat but will miss my Sunday morning ocean swims! I am always open to any advice from other athletes and don't really have anyone to train with. I massage by day and swim, bike, and run with my free time. :-)

Hi Sarah,

I'm Jason and read your response. You don't have to lay out mega dollars for a bike. I just a nice used one off Craigslist. However I would say be patient- it took me 3 months to find exactly what I was looking for, when I did find it I was able to save about 450.00 from what it would have cost. I'm not even talking about a carbon bike either. Having a really solid idea of you want will help in your search... good luck.
