Good Morning all. Just wanted to introduce myself and I am "thinking" of embarking on a triathlon. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!! I've run a couple of SLOW marathons and have biked a couple of SLOW century rides and swimming, well, that's another story. BUT I have the grit and determination to train hard and finish a 1/2 Ironman in 2006!!!! But I suppose I should start with a sprint!!!
My first tri is scheduled for May of 2005 (right now I can only swim and bike due to injury) SO I have 10 months to get ready for that but can't run until October!!!! I am really looking forward to help, advice, encouragement, and listening ears!!!! grace.

Welcome to the site, Grace. Good for you on your marathons and century rides! I am also a "slow and steady" kind of athlete, although I'm not sure I'd have the endurance for those events! Best of luck with your training!

Welcome Grace;
Once you get training the "thinking" will change to "wanting" I'm sure of it. My First tri is in 4 1/2 weeks. My first marathon is in 2 1/2 months so you already have one up on me.
