Hi - I've been lurking for awhile and decided to make it official.
I'm 38, live in MN, and am new to triathlons after completing my first sprint in August. I'm planning 5 next summer (with 1, maybe 2 OLY distance).
The plan is to go half iron the following year, then iron the year after that! Assuming my body holds up.
Looking forward to talking with the community here!

Hi Mike, welcome to the site.  Sounds like a solid plan, take the time to build a good base before going long.  Your body is more likely to hold up that way!  Best of luck to you.

Does it matter how fast you go? Does it matter if you win? No. It only matters that you tri your best and smile when you cross the finish line.
