Glad I found this site!!!!

Finally decided to stop lurking an introduce myself. My name is Lynette, I'm 36 for a couple more weeks,from the SF Bay area, Newark to be specific. I'm getting ready for my first sprint tri on 8/22. A year ago I begain working with a personal trainer at my local gym primarily to lose weight at the time I was at 230. Now a year later and 90lbs lighter, I have completed 2 10K runs and can't believe I'm going to attempt my first tri. Training has been going pretty well, as seems the case with a lot of post I've read I'm not real confident about the swim portion, the distance is not the problem its the open water part.

Everytime I start to get freaked out about something, which seems to be more and more often as I get closer to the race, I just jump on here and read all the great advice and encouragement from everyone and I feel better already.

Thanks for the great site!!! :)
