Hi,

My son just did his first mini this weekend and I am inspired to get back to racing. He makes a great motivational coach. I have been away from the sport for so long it is like beginning again. First race will be in May. Need to loose a bit of weight and get the endurance back and remember what it is it to swim again.

I fortunately live in a place that will allow me to train through the winter. As long as I am willing to get wet and have to clean the bike after every ride.

Jim

That is an easy thing to have. Though my old ride is still in good shape and light enough. Maybe new wheels and a bar upgrade. I will keep telling myself this until I wonder around transition.

Hey!
Congrats!
I'm with you... although my absence was shorter.
(apart from the whole being able to cycle in the winter part!)

But luckily, I've had a couple of indoor cycling gyms pop up near me (either group sessions on indoor trainers... or fancier & $$$ computrainer-based group cycling workouts!)

sorry if I've missed the answer to this question, but what will you be training for??

welcome back!
