New user  5 |  Subject: Very New!Hi everyone.
I'm Bronny. i've always wanted to do a tri, but I've been overweight my whole life, so I've never had the courage. I did a few fun runs last year, till I got sick. The illness caused the weight to pile back on. But I'm ready to get back into it. I'm moving to the Knox area (as soon as i can get a house. Everything else is organised, including preschool and day care for my 4 year old) So I'll be looking into joining knox Tri Club. (When i have the courage) So I thought I'd just drop by and say Hi. Who knows, you might just be overtaking me in a race someday!

New user 5 | Subject: RE: Very New! Thanks for the feedback. I'm very self conscious about my weight and not being able to keep up. Which is a horrible mental block. But I might come down one time and see how I go. |

Extreme Veteran 600 Melbourne | Subject: RE: Very New! Welcome! It took me a long time to build up the courage to do a tri. Swimming, riding & running were daunting enough, let alone in lycra! But you know what, I've never regretted a race and I've learned so much about myself and what my body can do. And made some great friends in the process! Have a great season! |

Veteran 339 Melbourne | Subject: RE: Very New! Hey Bronny Welcome to BT! You'll enjoy it round here, most people are very friendly and helpful! Sorry I can't help with tri clubs.... something I keep wondering about, but just end up doing all my training solo! I used the training as a great way to lose weight - went from 95kg to 75kg in 2 years, effectively couch to HIM in that time. Just enjoy yourself and don't put any pressure on yourself. Have fun Nigel |

Regular 71 Melbourne | Subject: RE: Very New! Go for it Bronny, I live in Melbourne and we are so lucky to have great areas to train- they bay for swims, Beach Road- or for the more ambitious plenty of hilly rides up in the Yarra Valley or down in the Otways. And plenty or races to push yourself if you feel like it. My advise is to be consistent- and enjoy it! Good luck! Maree |
