Lurker turned poster

Hi All,

My story does not seem to out of the ordinary after reading many of the other lurker posts. I'm 34, father of 3, and really want to get back active on the bike again.

I used to race in the WORS off road series & have done the Chequamegon, but a good friend of mine says....het get on this road bike & let's go fast. It was all over from then.

I love the road & have done a fair share of organized rides, but never raced. I have a tendency to get very nervous before any sporting event, as I was never a strong competitor.

I just am searching for the motivation & someone to ride with to get me back on my feet. I unfortunately did the pregnancy diet....my wife ate, so did I...no matter what or when. Well, I ballooned to over 205 & I'm always in the 170's.

I'm looking to keep posting, making new friends, doing some riding & getting my running legs back under me again. I have my "Couch to 5k" training plan, thanks to this site & starting tomorrow...my life changes.

Thanks for all the inspirational reads. It helps me know that there's a great sense of community here & I can get back, gain confidence & hit my goal of finishing the Lake Zurich Tri this year.

Here to stay & thanks!!!
