New again from NYC -- a reintroduction

After a good solid 6 months off from exercise generally, and several years after finishing my last tri, I am starting again -- not quite back at the beginning, but a restart nonetheless.

I am 29 years old, living in New York City, working as an attorney. My last triathlon was the Philadelphia Liberty Triathlon, a sprint, about 4 years ago. Since then, I have twice signed up for, trained for, and dropped out of the NYC triathlon. This year I managed to remember to defer my entry, so at least I'm guaranteed entry next year.

My real goal is to stay motivated throughout the year. I went to the tri yesterday to watch some friends participate, and came away with the same thought I've had before -- I want to be doing this. So my goal is to remember that throughout the year, to keep up my motivation and to pace myself in my training so I don't burn out. Everyone here was a great help four years ago, and I'm sure will be again.

I also want to be doing other shorter races rather than just aiming for one. An early sprint would be good, a few 5Ks and at least one 10K before next year.

Anyway, just writing to say hello!
