I'm New :-)

[athena]

Hi,

I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a senior in college (pursuing a B.S. in psychology) and love both school and sports.

I've been active in sports as long as I can remember. I competed internationally in sport taekwondo for several years, until I shattered the right side of my pelvis at age 16. I switched sports after that Ran a marathon last November, at the age of 18, but my time wasn't too great. I'm hoping to improve on my time this year once I get the okay to start running again.

For the time being, I'm trying to get more seriously into cycling. I've signed up for a double century this summer and have many more rides in mind that I would like to try. I am currently doing 40-50 miles most weekends, but hoping to commute down to school (15 miles each way) this summer.

I just got a new road bike today (2007 Marin Portofina) and can't wait to get on the trail with it I'm hoping to gradually build my mileage up, although it will probably be challenging for me, as I'm not very good at being patient!

I think that's all I have to say for now. This seems like a really helpful and friendly forum I'm excited to get to know you guys better and hope I don't bug you too much with my "newbie" questions!
