2004 was my 4th season of tri's but I still consider myself a “beginner”. To date I’ve lost 104 pounds and have 40 more to go. I’m definitely a BOP’er (back of the pack) but love doing this sport.

Found this site while searching for “off-season” training info. You guys are so positive and the articles and quotes are awesome.

I’m 38, a wife, mom to twin 14 year old daughters, and work full-time. Balancing my training and goals (moving up to Olympic Distance tri’s; doing a ½ marathon and completing a ½ Ironman in ’05) with my busy life is a challenge all by itself, but have made great strides this season.

I may never finish 1st or make it to Kona, but I’m proud of the fact that I had the courage to begin my journey.

Mary you Rock!!

You have accomplished so much and you are dedicated to keep going....4 years of tris is impressive.

We have twins as well....15 year old boys plus we have three younger daughters (10-6). Life is crazy busy but training helps me keep sanity.

I read your race report for a 1/4 iron and I'm impressed. That is my goal for June of '05. I'm a BOP too.

Welcome and I can't wait to hear more about your great progress!
