Howdy. I'm a 25-year-old gal from New Jersey who's going to do my first triathlon in September (Danskin, NYC). I am doing triathlons as a way to lose weight, but I'm having so much fun. Simply the joy of RUNNING is amazing. Perhaps after years some people take for granted how miraculous and wonderful the ability to jog even 2 miles feels to someone who never could. That was me, as several years ago I weighed 270 pounds and could barely walk around the block. I currently can jog 3 miles, but I have no plans to increase running mileage beyond 4 miles until at least next year to stave off injury. I can't swim well, but love it. Cycling is my strongest and most beloved of the three, but I still be slow.

Anyhow, that's me. I look forward to meeting everyone.

Weclome. Nice job on running -- someday maybe I will be able to say similar things!! I hate running, but in all fairness, I have not been consistent enough in training for running. You on the other hand have done great!!
