I have already posted one thread on the TX board, but haven't formally introduced myself. I am a wife and mom of three, 7, 5, and 7months...and have completed 2 triathlons. I was not going to do one until next year, but my city decided to host one this past November, so I took that as my "sign" to do it. A couple weeks before my event, I found out there was a triathlon club in my area, and began emailing the president, who was very kind and helpful to me. My first event was fun...and I decided I did not want to stop. I did join the club, and have found the support to be wonderful. I just completed my 2nd event this past Sunday. I was highly disappointed in my performance, but it was a great learning experience for me. I have also found this site and these boards extremely helpful. I look forward to many, many more triathlons to come!

Bonny,

Welcome to BT.  It's good to see some East Texans on here!  There are several of us around, but the problem with East Texas is the size.    I'm down in Lufkin, I know some folks in Tyler and in and around Longview as well.

Nice job on your race.  3rd place is awesome.  Stick around BT a little, it's a great place.

I'm in Longview. I have lived here for 8 1/2 years now....I have discovered it's not the best place for triathletes...as travel to Dallas, Shreveport, or Austin is required for most events, but that is okay.

Welcome to BT Bonnie.  I'm with you in that Longview isn't the ideal place, but it sure does make the events you race that much more meaningful.
