Subject: New guy from VA Hey everybody,
I decided to start getting back into shape a few months ago and I have a buddy who is into triathlons. I am a 30YO male and have some sports in my background, but have had several periods of being active and slim and inactive and overweight. I run (just did an 8k and have a 10k coming up ) but have no background in competitive cycling or swimming. I don't have a (real ) bike yet but I should be fine there once I get one, but despite growing up in the water I never swam laps. I went to the pool to swim for the first two times last week.
There is a local sprint in April that I may sign up for to get my feet wet. I won't be that competitive but the distances are short enough that I should have no trouble finishing it
I'm looking forward to learning more and competing in a tri! The people into this sport seem to be completely nuts (in a good way! ) and I want to join them and get into great shape. |
