Subject: My First Post on my First Tri
Hi everyone, I am Irish, living in Italy hoping to complete my first Tri in September!! I just wanted to introduce myself and compliment the community on such a great resource for beginners, I will hopefully get my training log and everything sorted out in the next couple of days. I have already been training for about 6 weeks, Last Sunday I did 40kms on the bike and felt fantastic, only 8 months ago I was smoking 40 cigarettes a day, and eating and smoking myself into an early grave, now I can cycle 40kms and I was still ready for more!!

Today I am going out tosee how far my fitness has improved in relation to running, trying 6ks, if I make it back ill post tomorrow and let you know how I did!!

Thanks for all the inspiration so far

Welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy it here. Where are you residing in Italy? I wish I were there right now instead of waiting for a snow storm in Canada! I'll be going over there, Venicia, Firenze, Sienna, Cortona, Assize and then up to Trieste for a few weeks in May/June. I won't be doing any tries when I'm there but I would like to rent a road bike and do a bit of cycling in the wine regions.

Kicking that nicotine, what a great accomplishment. I have a brother I am trying to get to quit. I know it is his life but GEEZ! I'm sure your focused efforts will pay off for you in your new sport. Glad to see another join the ranks of the exercise elite. Go get em!
