I decided to get a trainer to help keep me motivated (I, um, have a habit of quitting and now that I'm single again I have the $). He's GREAT!

He's a cyclist, so he totally knew where I was coming from and understood my goals about triathlons and biking. Although he isn't a swimmer, he runs, too, so this is a good match. We couldn't stop talking (even during the fitness test), so I think this is perfect. I'm so excited! Plus now I know someone in real life who knows stuff about cycling, so I could ask him to help me with things like bike fit, nutrition on the bike, etc. (I have a hard time asking LBS.)

Yeah!
