Subject: Newbie in Atlanta 2
Hi. My name is Timothy. I have just decided to begin training for a tri. When I say I am starting from the ground up, I do mean the ground up. I have done a lot of running in the past, but that has been about 3 years past. my swimming and cycling skills are virtually non existant. So this will be a great opportunity for everyone to watch ;-) A little about myself. I am 32yo, single, 170#, 5'7". I live in midtown and travel a lot for work (which will present another great challenge/opportunity). I am grateful for this website, because without it I probably would not have the support structure to continue more than a little while. I am looking forward to success and fitness that this sport brings. Best of luck to all of you.

Timothy

Welcome.

Check out tri-atlanta.org. Also, there's a great store dedicated to tri sports, called All 3 Sports up off of northridge and 400. Have all the goodies.

Good luck.

Hi Timothy, good to see another atlantan here. There's getting to be a good little cluster from Atl at this site.

Hi there Timothy:

Another member of the ATL contingency, it's great to have you on here.

Are you thinking of doing a tri this season or training for next season?

Hi Timothy,

Another Atlantan here! I am training for my first and selected the High Falls tri in Jackson (south of Atlanta about 40 minutes?). I am told everyone is very positive there and novice friendly. The race director suggested I sign up as a novice which will put me in the 5th and final wave.........which I am fine with. Hope to see you there on August 21st (yes, you still have time in my mind).

Tri it all,
Tony

I'm still looking at races and trying to set a realistic schedule. I am looking forward to this more every day. I am thinking about entering some smaller road races to give me some guideposts as I progress toward my first tri. Thanks for the encouragement. Best of luck to you in your goals
