Stupid Question #524 - Louisville 2009? (Page 2)

I'll just throw out my .02 (which, when compared to some other people, may actually only be .01).  I am new to triathlon as well (last year was my first year doing tri's of any sort.  I did a couple of sprints, a duathlon, several 5K/!0K/15k).  I am registered for IM Louisville.  Basically I went out, did some research, put together a training schedule, then had a coach put together a training schedule for me (which was a little pricey), got hooked up with some great people who can help me with my cycling, and now I'm balls to the wall!  I would say that if you are the type of person who can commit yourself to something, then you may as well give it a go!  Sure, you (or I) may not finish fast but we CAN finish.  This website has been great for me in terms of info and motivation!  There is a lot of time between now and August 30...if it were me I would say go for it!  Heck, give it some of that good 'ol MI "can do attitude!"
