I completed my first tri about 8 years ago, and have always wanted to do another one. I had some minor surgery on my foot and gained a pile of weight. The doctor has said if you can lose the weight you can do anything you want.....just do it he said. So here I am, tri...ing again.

Welcome back!

Where there is a will, there is a way!

You've already got a leg up on me. I've yet to complete my first Tri, though come July, that should all be changed.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the welcome. Where do you guys find the time to respond to all these email/threads????? I am looking at doing a tri in july or august. I will probably do most of my training on a mountain bike. I want to make sure that I really commit to this before buying a proper bike. I am really looking forward to this.

Thanks again
Stan

Hi Stan,

Completing a sprint tri seems more of a mental obstacle than a physical one.  Break it down to a training program over a relatively small amount of time and, voila, you are transformed into a triathlete again.  Check Ron's programs for couch to sprint.  Trust your own ability to figure out what works for you.  And just start doing it.
