I'm in the Cincy area, too! Iam completely new to tri's. My bike is being overhauled so I can ride when it is fixed. Drop a line. I also used to teach swimming...maybe we can help each other, though my cardio levels are light years from where I want them...fair warning...
I'm from the Cincy area, myself. I'll DEFINITELY be looking for training partners, once the warm weather finally hits. For now, I'm reduced to spinning on my trainer and my 'ole trusty treadmill.
