Pacific NW Newbie

I am coming out of Lurker mode to introduce myself, finally. I started training for my first tri on March 22nd and I am loving it! My first tri is the Danskin series in Seattle on August 15th, but I am getting soo excited that I will likely do the Issaquah Triathlon on June 6 (www.issaquahtri.com). The swim is half the distance of the Danskin so it would be a good intro. My family has been very supportive. My twelve year old son has appointed himself "personal trainer". I am using the the twenty week sprint training plan from BT. He checks the schedule every morning and advises me what to do for the day, then checks in with me at night. It's great! The training log has been very helpful. Some days I think that I am not doing as well as I hoped, the training logs help me see the slow and steady progress. I appreciate the great advice and inspiration from the Forum discussions.
