Starting Today

Hey all-

I am new to the board and the sport. I am 32 years old, and used to run a lot, used to swim (through high school), and used to mountain bike a lot. But as you all can see, that's a lot of "used to"'s. Also, I have never put all three together.

I finally woke up the other day and realized I have gotten WAY out of shape. I have tried many times to run and usually keep with it for a month or two, but always burn out, so this time, I decided to try training for a tri. Hopefully, because of the variation in training, I will stay motivated. This time, I have also put an event on the calendar as a goal (a tri-sprint). I have thought about doing a tri before, but always thought "No way - those are for people much more athletic than me." But this time, I realized that I can do all three by them self, so why not just put them together.

Anyway, I'm sure many of you will see me asking lots of questions as I get more serious about this sport. Right now, I am just looking forward to getting off the couch!

I look forward to joining the community
