Extreme Veteran  339  |  Subject: Newbie from BellevueHi there everyone, Well as you all have seen I’m a bit of a newbie to the triathlon world. I have wanted to do one for a very long time and well just never really had the motivation. So here I am. Thanks to this site I am now signed up for two, one on Aug. 1st and the other on Aug. 29th. I am hoping to maybe find somebody here in Omaha to become friends and train with. My husband is not exactly into fitness and truthfully I don’t have too many friends that are either. Mindy |
So if anyone is interested please let me know. Hope to talk to you all soon.

New user 68 Lincoln | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Welcome to the site! Although I have not trained with them, I hear there are a good group of athletes in Omaha that train together. Check the other NE posts for the details..... |

Veteran 192 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Welcome to the site. Congratulations on getting into the sport. I didn't have any friends who did triathlons when I started. Now most all of my friends are triathletes. Not that I converted them, but that you meet all kinds of people at the races. Best of luck with training. |

Member 6 Omaha | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Check out Team Nebraska Triathlon. They are on Facebook too. They have open water swim followed by a bike loop at Lake Manawa on weekends. There is a women's running group that meets on I think thursday nights at the UNO track. |

Veteran 371 Lincoln, Nebraska | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Mindy, I know Bellevue is a long way from 168th and Center, but there are a bunch of triathletes that all workout at Lifetime Fitness. I was working out at 24hr fitness, and happened to chat up a couple guys on TT bikes on a ride last week. So I joined Lifetime and will probably start getting with them for group rides, swims and runs. I hear the Masters Swimming at Lifetime is a good group....I may have to give that a go. There are also some running clubs in the area. Cycling rides with several bike shops. I will post a couple links later on when I get a chance. -Kurt |

Veteran 371 Lincoln, Nebraska | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Here are a couple links. Xtreme Wheels has a nice social ride on Fridays around the full moons. Might meet some folks wanting to train....check their blog or call and ask if they have any groups riding harder than on the full moon rides. http://xtremewheels.com/ The Bike Way has weekly road rides. I have not ridden with them, but I'm guessing they go pretty hard on Wed. http://thebikeway.com/page.cfm?pageID=37 Omaha Running Club I am not a very good runner, and continue to fight a foot injury, so I don't know about them. Seems like a good group though... http://www.omaharun.org/ Swim like a fish.. http://www.omahamastersswimming.com/ Team Nebraska Triathlon http://www.teamnebraska.org/ |

Veteran 294 Papillion, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue New here to the triathlon world too. Been a competitive weightlifter for the last 10yrs. and decided to change things up. Mindy, Which tri are you doing Aug. 1? I am doing the one in Plattsmouth. My son talked me into it as he did one in Norfolk last year. |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue mybuddy I found a partner already but I don’t know whether she will be going to any of the Team NE evens with me later on next month. Do you go to any of their events? If so maybe we could hook up and see where each of us are with our training. I don’t want to hold anyone back and since I have basically just started I'm not up to par with too many people right now. |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue DJS I'm doing the Plattsmouth sprint race. Is the one in Norfolk the only one you have done so far? This will be my first and I am really nervous about it... |
Hopefully all will go well. If you would like maybe we could meet before hand and get introduced… My husband and mother will there with me and maybe a friend, if I can talk her into doing it with me.

Regular 90 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue mindymin21 - 2009-06-26 1:58 PM DJS I'm doing the Plattsmouth sprint race. I see you're doing the Plattsmouth on the 1st, but what Tri will you be doing at the end of August? I just moved to Omaha a couple weeks ago and I am actually working in Bellevue now. I don't know of any tris in the area really and would like to know of some more. |

Regular 90 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue mindymin21 - 2009-06-29 12:35 PM epredl, Well I guess I won't be racing in that one then  I am considering doing the Plattsmouth one (even though it's a pool swim..booooo). I also want to do the Black Squirrel Tri in Council BLuffs, IA on Aug 22. |

Extreme Veteran 339 | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Epredl, how many tris have you done? The Plattsmouth one will be my first. I'm nervous as H*LL but I think it will be a great experience and I hope I end up loving the sport. |

| Veteran 247 Beatrice, Nebraska | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Welcome all to the world of triathlon. We have a small group in the Beatrice area that started training and racing a couple of years ago and it is slowly growing. I think some of us are racing the Cornhusker State Games, Iron Horse triathlon and the Black Squirel in Council Bluffs. Hope we can get together at some of the races. |

Regular 90 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Mindy, Last year was my first year so I have done 5 triathlons and 1 duathlon. I hope to get about 4 more tris in this season though. |

Member 168 Omaha, NE | Subject: RE: Newbie from Bellevue Welcome to the site! It's been what seems like an eon since I've been on, but it's nice to see another friendly face from Bellevue. I'll be doing the Papillion Mayor's tri on the 19th and will probably do the Black Squirrel in August. I usually work out at the Papillion 24 Hour Fitness as well, so maybe I'll see you around. (and maybe DJS, too!) |
