Introducing Myself

[whiteknuckles]

Hi Everyone, I've just today joined your forums & wanted to introduce myself. I found this site via a google search for cycling advice & the more I hung around, the more I thought, hey, I would like to be part of this group! I'm very new to cycling, having just purchased my first tri-bike this past spring. I'm on a Quintana Roo Seduza, her name is Damage, and she has been very patient with my rookie treatment of her oh so sleek carbon frame. My tri background is limited as well, I've completed 1 sprint to date & am training for my first iron distance, Lake Placid next July. I'm also a runner, having completed various local road races and this past January, my first marathon in Miami. My next race is a 20k, followed by another sprint mid-September. I thoroughly enjoy swimming & have only freaked out during two OWS (ha). I've come on these boards mainly for gear advice but I see a lot of great forums for nutrition & support, so I thought I'd say Hello & that I'm looking forward to getting to know some great people & grow in my sport(s).

Welcome, Kira (and Damage )!

Welcome. Which Sprint Tri did you compete in?

[whiteknuckles]

I did the Pat Griskus sprint in Middlebury, on July 9th - it was fun - even though I had horrible cramps on the run...I had a wonderful experience!

Wow, you guys that do the triathlons amaze me. Great job on your accomplishments.
