A sprint in August. I ran a marathon in October just after my daughter was born and since then it has been hard to stay focused on anything but her. So I hope the training will be fun and motivating.

Thanks for the great forum!

Welcome to the boards!  Training when you have a child can become a scheduling nightmare!  Good luck with it!

I am a teacher so the summer will be better as long as she enjoys the Baby Jogger!

Welcome aboard!

Children can really change your perspective on training and other hobbies. They tend to take up most of your free time, but they are worth every minute of it. Good luck on your upcoming tri.

Thanks for all the responses so far. The next big step is swimming, I haven't really been in a pool seriously since high school. But I really can't wait for a new road bike!!

Hello fellow teacher.
High School Biology teacher from suburban Detroit here.
I hear you on the scheduling with a child. One two year old and another on the way. Starting training for a sep tri in Detroit area. Yeah the swim training is tough ... real tough!
Early morning and after he goes to bed seems to work for me as far as training goes.
take care,
Derek

Swapping training sounds good, I can use all the swim help I can get!

I grew up in MI, in Ann Arbor. I run before school now so the mornings are early, but that should get a little better this summer. I teach 7th grade social studies, high schoolers scare me!
