New user 1 |  Subject: New guy from Chapel Hill, NCHey all! Well let me introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old PhD student in maternal and child health at UNC Chapel Hill. Name is Nathan. I'm starting out in this sport because I have tended to enjoy more endurance type sports and am wanting to have a fun way to stay healthy (wouldn't mind if I got a more defined tummy in the process either). I swam in HS and have been swimming for the past few months every other day around 1500 a day. I haven't ran in 8 months and haven't biked really at all, save for recreational biking. I need to get a bike actually since I don't have one right now. Any advice etc. would be welcomed! looking forward to getting to know all of you. Nathan |

Master 2115   Dothan, Al | Subject: RE: New guy from Chapel Hill, NC Howdy Nathan and welcome. I will tell you like I have told others on here. There are many people on this site who are a wealth of knowledge on all things triathalon. However, I ain't one of 'em. So I will give you what little info I can: Train hard, eat well, rest often, and HAVE FUN! |

Extreme Veteran 357 Ft. Myers, Florida | Subject: RE: New guy from Chapel Hill, NC Nathan, Welcome to BT. You are very fortunate to have that swimming background. You will find many of us on these forums that really struggle to swim. If you haven't already, check out www.setupevents.com for our local races. Good luck on that PhD. |

Champion 5529 Nashville, TN | Subject: RE: New guy from Chapel Hill, NC Welcome Nathane. Enjoy your time in Chapel Hill (alum here). Setupevents runs most of the tris for VA, NC, SC. There is also a UNC Tri team that you could link up with. Also, Carrboro is a great cycling market. I believe that a group leaves out of the town square each weekend. Just get out there and start training. You are in a phenomenal area to get in shape. Performance Bikes is based out of Chapel Hill. They are a great place to start. Also Inside Out Sports are in the Cary/Raleigh area and have more sport specific gear. |

If you haven't already done so, check out the North Carolina Forum: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/forum-view.asp?... There are some other BTers in the Chapel Hill area. (I'm not that far from you, actually.) - Dee |

Expert 957 Charlotte, NC | Subject: RE: New guy from Chapel Hill, NC Welcome to BT nathan. Check out the North Carolina forum if you haven't already. The Raleigh area seems to be very active. Set Up Events runs some great races. Some of their events fill up in the first 24 hrs though so be sure to check their site and plan out which races you may want to do. |
