Hey, Hey

For the curious out there, allow me to introduce myself.
I hail from way up yonder in Alaska, and have been into Olympic sports since I was young (no Olympic dreams, though, as my academic plans screwed any chances up long ago.) 
Among other things, I breathe, eat, move, punctuate, and think (you'd be surprised how uncommon that can be), and...fence! I find that Triathlons and fencing support/cross train with each other quite well. I first became interested in Triathlons when I began college. Lacking the time to compete in sports at the D1 collegiate level, I began doing long-distance running, and found that even though I enjoyed it, "just running" was a bit lacking. Then I found the wonderful world of tri! Now that I'm back home on summer vacation, I've found the bug has bitten me again. 
That's the life story, folks!
