Last year I participated in a sprint tri on a relay, just to get my feet wet and see what it's all about. I definitely wanted more - After 9 minutes in the water, I was done and that was too short!
So this year I'm training for at least one, probably two sprint distance tris. Maybe more... we'll see!
I'm a decent swimmer and a decent runner (although I'm realizing I need to develop my aerobic base after doing heart rate training, and going back to "walk before I run"). The only thing I've never really done (other than recreationally) was bike. I think the $$ you have to plunk down kept me away. But I'm going to do it - I'm looking at my road bike options and I'm committed.
So I'll be around here and there. I'm also lurking at BT and learning a lot from them. I'm trying to do a 2x training program, where I fit in at least 2 of each discipline a week, plus two strength training sessions. I also hope to add in one more run when spring comes (and my volleyball season is done). Nice to meet you all!
