Trail Runner - wants to do a tri

Hello From Fort Mill, SC!! (Located just below Charlotte NC, across the state line).

Trail runner and Mt Biker here. I've been active all my life, adult soccer league, love working out, etc.

Within the last few years I've really gotten into trail running and did some halves, etc and skipped 26.2 and went straight to 50K Trail Race in March of this year. (I don't like the road or hard surfaces).

Anyhoo - I have some close friends that were swimmers in college and they will help me that part. I already mt Bike, but my bike is a stock Trek "Rumblefish" - so it's heavy.

I look forward to learning from you guys - I'm pretty clueless when it comes to training and outfitting for Tri's.

I don't think I'll ever want to do a Tri with road biking in it. I wiped out badly in college training for my USMCR PFT - knocked out, totaled the bike and road rash from head to toe. I don't mind wiping out on dirt, asphalt sux.

Cheers,
Ontos
