Hello, TAN!!  Oh, wait...
Still not doing any running, biking, or especially swimming for the past 8 years due to hip issues, BUT, a past BT'er (who I've kept in touch with) has provided some positive feedback and encouraged me to get checked out after their successful hip replacement.
My oldest son is a fitness guy doing a lot of body-building/weightlifting, my 2nd son is in a tri-club in college and bikes a lot (completed a 200+  bicycle ride across Wisconsin on the first weekend this month (Aug) in just under 14 or 15 hours) , and my youngest son is one helluva swimmer in H.S. and club swim and getting some early recruitment looks.
For now, I just like good craft or import beer.

Lordy! It took 1.5 years to turn the page on this thread. Life presses on.

We live Maine. We love the NE, it is beautiful country and the weather suits us. Today feels like the beginning of Fall. My weather station says it is currently 62F.

Fingers crossed, our goal is to move to Portugal next year and, god willing and the crik don't rise, it will be a permanent move. Life is like a box of chocolate, eh?

Be safe, everyone. I hope you all survive the pandemic in good health.

My iPad bookmarks reminded me of this forum. The little one in my pic is now looking for colleges.

Wow...where have the years gone?? I lost my old account somehow, so this is a new one...I was pretty active here from around 2008-2011. In fact, I married a man that I met through BT and our local triathletes! We've been married 11 years and have 3 boys.

I haven't done anything in the way of training or racing in most of that time. I did a stand-alone half marathon (my one and only) back in 2014 (I think). I've signed up for another half-mary this fall and I'm just beginning training for that.

Hope everyone is well and life has treated you kindly. Many ups and downs over here including some big losses of close family members recently, but I count myself as blessed to have a wonderful husband, beautiful children, and a comfortable life.

rkreuser - I think I stalk your posts more on linked in now than BT.  hahaha.   Nice to see you and a few other familiar names from 20 years ago.

Hey, Matt.  How's it going?  Still racing?  You were getting pretty good at it IIRC.

Hey, Mike.  Yeah I started getting some success, but after getting married I slowed down the triathlon training.  Tough to keep up training 14 hours a week with kids.  I did move to a new hobby.  I've been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about 6.5 years. It's done a great job keeping the competitive side of me happy.

Crazy how much quieter this place has gotten.

Congrats on all fronts.  Enjoy the journey (mine is now a college graduate)!

There has been a shakeup on Slowtwitch. There's even been talk about jumping ship. It's good to know my BT login still works.

LOL on Slowtwitch - didn't they learn from BT's demise.

Sad to see BT and even Slowtwitch fade, but it's the Reddit effect.

I was active on this site for a number of years, starting in 2006. I see my last login here was in December 2021.

I haven't raced a triathlon since 2018 due to a series of injuries starting in March 2019. I've had a couple cycles of recovery / reinjury since.  But I still hope to race another IM in the next few years. 2026 would be the 20th anniversary of my first so I'm sort of aiming at that, but avoiding injury is #1. 

I wish you all the best

It feels like there are fewer and fewer new registrations now too.

Another oldie reporting back for duty after a very long break.

Still in Aus, made a move to the country before covid when it suddenly became the thing to do. Fitness fell away as a priority as the kids grew but getting the time back for me now, triathlon return on the radar for the future, but enjoying a bit of mountain biking after moving previously into trail running. Ready to give the corporate world away, so looking to regain fitness with a move into law enforcement before I just get too old to do it (would prefer firefighting, but no 50 year olds go into that career)

I'd hate to think what my swim leg would look like after many years without a toe in a pool or open water
