Subject: New Guy Hey everyone! Glad to have found this site and seems like there will be a lot of great support here! I'm not new to forums, but new here so figured this was the appropriate place to make a first post
My name is Travis and I'm in Austin, TX (which, from lurking a little bit, seems to have some solid representation here ).
I've never done a triathlon before, but am excited to do my first one!
A bit about myself, I'm a law student at UT (hence my username ) and coming from a background of working a lot while being in school I needed a new hobby. I have a friend who is a triathlete who convinced me to consider it, and now here I am about 2 months after starting considering it and have finally decided on pursuing a race next year.
Currently I'm working on cycling and running. I'm not much of a swimmer, but as it gets cold I'm not so sure about tackling that currently, although I may revisit that idea now that I know I have pool access on campus to indoor pools during the winter. I'm currently running at a 5K distance, and have previously done 10Ks so working to get back to that. I bike primarily on weekends and am currently riding 40-50 miles per session.
Other than this adventure and law school, I also like to jump out of airplanes for fun so it is interesting to have a hobby that keeps me so close to the ground!
Hope to be around the boards a bit and get some great advice!
Best,
Lawhorn
