Subject: Hi! I'm Greg Pesot! I'm a married (heather ) father of three boys (max (6 ), matt (4 ), and mick (2 ) )
I've always exercised - mostly to maintain weight and stay healthy - lifted weights, running, rowing, etc. Had done running races for a couple of years until last summer and just got bored - singing the same song over and over in my head and was just looking for something a little more exciting!
I had always wanted to do a triathlon and started training two winters ago and did my first tri last summer - horrendous swim but nice bike and run - then I crashed last july and broke the collarbone and wrist - but recovered quick enough to do one more last labor day and did much better than my first since I knew what to expect.
so this past winter I upped my training volume and intensity a little bit and signed up for five sprints - did very well in the first three - skipped the fourth due to rough surf and my fifth is labor day weekend!
So I guess I do this for a few reasons - personal hobby, fitness, enjoyment, role model for my kids, weight maintenance, healthy body=healthy mind, etc.
I was posting on the "other" newbie forum but it seemed to get a little too serious - too much Ironman talk!
