Delurking...in Philadelphia mostly

Hi folks,

I thought it was time I stopped lurking, which I've been doing for ages (long enough that I may have introduced myself once before, but if so, I've forgotten).. I'm 24 and a graduate student in my non-athletic life. I had planned to do the Philly Tri (olympic) next summer as my first tri, but it turns out that I'm going to be doing a sprint in Lake Chelan, WA ("My First Triathlon") in a few weeks, so that will be my first.

I'm pretty new to all three sports, though I've been running for a year or so. I hurt my knee though, so I haven't been able to run for the last month. I guess that's not so bad, since both my swimming and my cycling need a LOT of work. .
