Member  13 |  Subject: Almost a New Tri guy...Hello all, My name is Omari Broussard, from SD, Ca. I am almost new to the sport because I don't have a bike yet (I am currently taking donations, lol). But once I get one I will be in full swing. I am in the Navy and I have a wife and 4 children. I gained interest in the sport many years ago after watching "The Grip" Mark Allen win IM. Being a black man, most of my family we can't swim well, but I'm working on it. See you all at the races soon. |

Pro 4228 Broomfield, Colorado | Subject: RE: Almost a New Tri guy... Welcome! Most of us here have struggled with swimming, but truly, it does get easier! It unfortunately takes time. Also - I know there's a big tri club in SD - maybe check out their website for used bikes. Good luck in your training! |

Member 13 | Subject: RE: Almost a New Tri guy... Hey folks I'm back. My wife happen to find a bike for me at a garage sale. Its an RS700 Cannondale w/aerobars. the guy is selling it to me for $350.00. So I guess by next week I will be official. I thank you all for you advice. I'm going to join the SD TRI club and there is a race this month (IB Triathlon). |
