I have been on this website for hours!  I am so excited about training for my first Triathlon now!  My friend Leisa has been trying to talk me into doing one with her before her 40th (WAAYYY before my 40th :-) ), but I've been resistant because of the swimming part (it's never been my forte).  My daughter (9) was on the swim team this summer for the first time and she loved it, so it got me thinking MAYBE it wouldn't be so bad.  Besides, when I started running a couple years ago I didn't think I'd make it past the first mile, and we ran two half-marathons last year and are aiming for our first 26.2 in Feb2005!  So, I've emailed Leisa with the Y's lap swim schedule and I'm starting tomorrow!  Thanks for a great website!  I'm inspired!

Hey Marv66,

A Tennessee Vol in Prattville, Alabama!  You are a brave person too!  Swimming gives good balance and contrast to the running and biking, so it is worth the effort to master doing it.

Have fun.

I'm not sure brave is the word...hehehe, although we did wait a year or two before we put our flag up during football season.  As for the swim....I did a measly 20 minutes tonight...just got back.  I forgot my goggles so it was pretty miserable.  Oh well, I'll try again Wednesday with the right gear.
