Subject: looking for training partners for Wildflower MTB sprint (Sunnyvale)
Hi,
I'm training for next years wildflower MTB sprint triathlon, and I'd like to find some training partners.

This will be my first triathlon.
I'm 44 yr old, 220lb and have not run in over 20 yrs due to a knee injury.

I've worked up to "running" 1 mile, and I hope to be able to run 4 miles continuously.
Run is put in quotes because my speed is more of a fast jog.

My biggest worry is the run, which is 2 miles for this event.
I run at Peterson middle school's oval track in Sunnyvale.

I've been swimming regularly for the past 3 yrs, and I don't think the 1/4 mi swim will give me any trouble.

I used to mtb a lot pre-2002 and know the OSPs around here well. However, that was 13 yrs ago. I plan to fix my mtb and ride again.

Would love to find a training partner.

Training is often a lonely proposition and sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Finding good training partners can provide you with that extra external motivation to bring out your best.

I started riding this spring with the Carnac shoes on Look pedals (with plenty of float). About five minutes into a ride I get sharp pain on the outer edge of my feet, just behind the pedal.
