Hi from NC!

Hi everybody! I'm Becky from the Hickory, NC area. I'm 25 years old, and just signed up for my first tri! I have several reasons for wanting to tri-my husband did his first Sprint last year and had a blast. Something that has always held me back was the running portion. However, about a month ago, I got a job at a local running store, and am now in a training program for my first 5k! I'm not TOO concerned about the swim-I used to lifeguard, so I just need to get back in the pool. Bike wise, I just got a new Specialized Allez Elite, which I am still trying to get used to. (I"m used to my mountain bike which goes much slower, so the speed has me concerned lol!)

I've signed up for the Ramblin Rose womens only mini-sprint in Winston Salem...I have until August to get ready! It's a 250 meter swim, 9 mile bike, 2 mile run, which I think will be a great first-tri distance!
