Hi! I'm Anders from Winchester, VA.

Wanted to introduce myself I'm a 35 year old, father of two toddler sons, living in Winchester, Virginia. After being told by Dr to exercise more due to slightly high cholesterol, I decided to finally get back in shape, like I had wanted to for so long. This was only three months ago and I just ran my first ever race (5k) this Thanksgiving. I am interested in triathlons as they are seemingly a great test of human endurance capabilities. My exercises the last three months have also consisted of exactly those three disciplines. My first goal is to do a sprint triathlon in Raystown, PA in May 2016. Id like to dream to complete an Ironman and my homecountry's Norseman in my lifetime. See if it sticks for that long

I am a Norwegian and grew up playing soccer and skiing. Came to the states 10 years ago. Now married to my american wife. I've spent my last seven years in motorsport becoming a club racecar driver (I raced a 93 BMW on roadcourses). I recently sold my racecar and will most likely move on to instructing more than racing in the future. Also have lots of other small projects and interests going on. I can get bored easily but also enjoy getting deeply involved in what I do. I hope becoming a triathlete will give the satisfaction it seems to trigger already. Less costly and risky, but perhaps more time consuming yet with many many benefits.

Would appreciate a personal mentor/online coach/triathlete friend as I dont know anyone at this point (which Im sure to change )
