Hello from Los Angeles, CA

Hello all.

I've made a big decision to train for a triathalon. Right now I'm a 35 year old lawyer, former Marine with a lot of civilian flab that I need to lose.

It looks like this might be a great place, as a newbie, to get some good information and maybe a little help in the motivation department.

I've done lots of running (i.e. Marine Corps) in the past and in the last year have started/stopped/started riding a bicycle for fun and exercise.

Thanks for having me and I'll definitely see you around.

BTW, I bought a Specialized Allez Elite triple. It's a good fit and I enjoy riding it, but wondered if yall have any thoughts to share.
