Subject: Greetings from Waco, Texas Want to say thanks for this site - it as helped me through my first month of training. I'm 37 years old, 3 small children (4,5 and 6 ), computer programmer/systems guy, and happily married now for >15 years.
My wife has been doing Tri's for >2 years now and I've been sitting on the side lines as she has built herself up to completing several 1/2 Iron Mans, Marathons, 1/2 Marathons and now she will compete in her first Iron Man distance event in Florida in the latter part of October. Here Signon here is IronTam if you get a change to post something in her training log to encourage her along the way.
So far things are going well, I began to excercise (swim and run ) in the month of June, but didn't come across this site till August and it has really helped to log my training and see some small progress - it at least gives me one more person/thing to be accountable to (I feel like a loser if I don't workout just so I can update my training log, see the computer nerd in me! ). I purchased a good bike (Cannondale R600 ) about a month or so ago and really enjoy the biking part.
I'm doing another sprint Tri in 2 weeks and training for the Half (1/2 Marathon ) in Dallas in early November.
Slade
