 1 |  Subject: Hi from BaltimoreHi All, My name is Ben, I'm 32 years old, I live in Baltimore MD and I just signed up for my first triathlon (Columbia MD, May 2016). I have lived in Baltimore for three years but I'm originally from Australia. I've always been relatively fit and healthy but most of that was a consequence of playing lots of team sports and I've found that there isn't the same opportunities for competitive adult team sports here as there was in Australia. For that reason I started to take my running more seriously and completed my first marathon a little over two years ago. Lately I've been looking for a new challenge and some variety in my workouts and so I've moved on to triathlon. I'm already hooked and I've spent many hours reading this and many other websites. The swimming and cycling are new but I got myself a swim coach and I'm trying to get out on the bike as often as I can (with some added spin classes when its too dark to get a good ride in). I'm excited for everything to come! Cheers, Ben |

I usually recommend you read race reports especially for races you'd like to do yourself. I also like to recommend volunteering at local events. It can be quite a positive experience and a great way to meet like-minded people. If they open up mentor groups in the near future definitely join a group. It's a great place to meet people and exchange ideas and information. And, have fun. |

You are also in an excellent area for triathlon there are tons of local races and clubs between Baltimore and DC. Depending on where exactly you are located you'll find lots to suit your needs. Hopefully, I'll see you at some of the local races! |
