Time to step up and introduce my self. This is Michael. Just started getting ready for my first Tri in June.
I've thought about doing one for a while but never committed to one. The Tri is part of the 2004 Kansas City Corporate Challenge to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. This was the push I needed to get started. I ran cross-country in high school and mountain bike as much as possible. The swimming is where I lack. I don’t know why but the though of just doing a marathon is not appealing. But adding 112 miles on a bike and 2 mile swim, now that sounds Interesting. The race in June is a Sprint and I hope to continue with this sport in the future. I also looking forward to all of the great support and information I’ve seen on this web site. Later

Welcome Michael, I love this site and you will find many caring and commited people here to suppport your goals. The sprint is a great way to get started, put together a good training plan for the full distance events and try not to over do it too early. Sometimes the hardest thing to control for semi-athletic types is to push too hard too soon. I constantly need to show restraint, especially in building the solid endurance base for the longer events. Congrats on making the commit to get strated. Good Luck!

Great to have you with us - You are a triathlete The running alone doesn't get it and the other sports are absolutely "interesting" - when you put the three sports together - now that's a real challenge!
