Hi from Kansas

Hello, I'm new to this forum and new to triathlons as well.

I used to be a fairly avid runner but had various injuries which plagued me and I decided to try cross-training with swimming. This lead me to the idea of trying to do a triathlon.

I enjoy running the most, but I also like swimming. I really hate biking, but am hoping that as I get better at it I'll like it better.

I'm signed up for my first sprint tri on July 25 of this year. I picked that date because it coincides exactly with the end of my 16 week training plan that I got off this website.

Like I said, my main concern right now is the bike. I feel pretty good about the swim, but I really wish I knew how to do a proper turn-around. That's the main thing that I feel I'm lacking at the moment. I think I'll be fine on the run.

Anyways, glad to be on board, hope to have some good discussions with everyone here!
