Member 49 |  Subject: noob in Chicago, about to sign up for Chicago Tri!Hey Everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I'm just now taking fitness seriously (at the age of 29), and have decided to pursed the Chicago tri this August. I figure 8 months is plenty of time to get into shape for the event. hoping to learn from all of you here, and hopefully make some friends. My wife and I live in Chicago (Wicker Park) and are expecting our first baby in July, so its my goal to be in shape by then too, so I can keep up with the little guy/gal! Matt |

Veteran 105 Tucson | Subject: RE: noob in Chicago, about to sign up for Chicago Tri! Hi Matt, I'm new as well. I'm doing my first sprint tri on March 21st in Tucson. Good luck to you and congrats on the new baby. That may have been the happiest day of my life, I should say that was the happiest day of my life. When my daughter, who is now 5, entered the world. Oh, I grew up 40 miles south of the city, in Joliet. Graduated from Joliet West HS. See ya. Edited by Masi 68 2010-01-05 1:47 AM |

Veteran 121 Madison | Subject: RE: noob in Chicago, about to sign up for Chicago Tri! Welcome I am new as well to the site, however I have done the Chicago Tri twice. It is a great race and run really well. I am actually going to be doing a couple of Half Ironmans this year so I will not be doing it this year and am going to miss it. There are a lot of different training groups in Chicago to help if you need it. Good Luck! |

Dude, this site is a goldmine. Poke around the forums, do a little searching and all your questions likely answered! Somewhere in the tri forum there are "tips for first timers" threads. Another thing you could do is join one of the mentor groups here and fire questions away. |
