Hi Everybody

A couple years ago I looked at myself and I was 216, I started going to the gym, lifting etc but always wanted to do a triathlon. Started training and am now down to 184, and completed my first ever tri. It was awesome, and as you all can guess I am hooked. I now have many new goals and challenges I want to complete, and work on reaching these goals will be fun. This winter I want to improve my running speed, and do some races like 1/2 mary and some 10 milers. I would also like to complete a HIM in 2008 or 2009. I was looking at eagleman but that registration is closed out. Maybe Patriots half in VA. I am also looking to join a tri club, my two closest are Mid Maryland Tri Club, and DC Tri Club. DC seems very active, does anyone have recommendations? I have enjoyed lurking on BT, and enjoy learning from the community.
