When I first started doing TRI's I typed in triathlete.com.  This took me to a site, I signed up, then the site crashed.  I believe it is back online but not what it used to be and I found this site in the interim.  I liked it here so much I stayed.

How did you get here?

I was searching for training plans for a HIM on Google and I found this site. The plan looked good, so I used it for awhile before ever posting on the forums or keeping logs, then realized that the forums were a pretty good place, so I posted an Introduce Yourself message. The rest is history.

I've actually never looks at another tri website. I stopped after I found the training plan here.

I read an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about "The Distance".   I believe either the article or the movie mentioned this site.

After registering for a race on active I asked a question in the triathlon forum and BT was recommended to help find my answer. Now with 450 or so posts here on BT this is my favorite Tri site.

Another googler here.  And I am SOOOOO glad this is the first that popped up on the search.  All of my other beginner friends are like "how the f do you know so much about triathlon already???"  What a cool place we have here.

I did the goolge on "triathlon", but I think the first things I found were an article and discussion threads where I eventually clicked on the logo at the top to see the whole site.

Googled, and one of the articles came up.  Someone had written about their first tri experience.  I laughed my a** off, found the rest of the site, and signed up.   My first year..... the information and the entertainment are priceless.
