new to Tri - Kansas city

hey everybody. Im 23... 24 in april. I live in kansas city and have been debating on competing in triathlons for a while now. about 3 weeks ago i convinced myself in to doing it. I used to be a college and simi-pro baseball player. Then decided to get a real job. I still have a strong need for competitive events so I figured that Triathalons would be something that I could push my self to do and compete in. currentley I am 6'2" 230. my playing weight was 190. for the last year all that i have done is hit the gym. lift lift lift. and the last 3 months i put on 20lbs. bc in the winter im cardio'd out. plus its cold here in kansas. FEB 1st is the official start day of tri-training. When I was playing baseball i was in good running shape for some one of my size. My goal is to do sprints this season and then move up to Olimpic next year. there are a lot of general questions that i want to talk to some one about. If there is any one in KC that has some experience with nebys that would be great.
