New one in town

In many ways, it is thanks to all you guys that I have now entered my first sprint tri ever.
I was considering it and found this site (Great by the way!). Going through the various threads decided that I would give it a go.

I am 30 years of age, French for my sins, living in England with my little family.
My first tri is a Sprint in May so I have started a 16 week schedule which is going OK. Got myself a new road bike - Dawes Giro 500 (since I do ride a fair amount normally-less for the tri though- not enough time!!!!!!!!!!!!).

So, I'll keep chipping in at the threads. That's me in a nutshell.
