I'm Kate-the-great

I have rediscovered myself after nearly dying from West Nile Virus, surviving breast cancer, becoming a proud recovering alcoholic, defeating severe depression and burying my mother in Sept. I did several short triathlons in my 30s and LOVED them. I am 59 years old and have lost 80 pounds since I quit drinking in 2011. I am somewhat fit, swimming a mile 3 times a week, walking / running 3 to 4 miles three times a week, yoga once a week. I want to do a short tri this year, maybe this summer. Will somebody out there be my buddy? I need to know what short tri to sign up for. I live in the oilfields of N D, which is why I haven't been biking ( too dangerous on the roads), but I can work around that. I have never done a forum before, am not on Facebook, but here I come!
