well, i've never done...ok, time to start a new chapter in my life. my husband has been tri-ing this year and i don't want to be left out next year which is a couple days away. i'm already signed up to do the indy mini and planning on a sprint tri a month after that. if i survive those two events, i may do the purdue half mary in the fall.
got the bike, started to ride and began core training a month ago. now need to walk-->run and take swimming lessons, from scratch!
Welcome to BT and congrats on signing up for a race already...in my opinion, that is your best source of motivation! Take full advantage of all this site has to offer as it is a great resource and full of wonderful people!! Beware as I'm sure you've already experience this with your hubby but this sport is very addicting and very rewarding!!
NICE! You can do it. All in the mental attitude and you have a plan! I am new to tris too, but positive mental attitude, willingness, and the training I think go a long way. Good Luck.
