Im just really excited to get started training and do some races. My baby "Bevo II" is a 08 Fuji Roubaix road bike, when i get alot better i plan on getting the real deal Tri bike.

This is one of her dreams is to do a full tri, so to accomodate i am training up right now so when she gets home we can get it going. Sorry my name is Eric Hilton

Hi gang. Just thought I would pop in for a quick hello.  I haven't been training too much lately. Between work and assorted health issues I have been laying low. I am off today so I thought it would be a great chance to catch up to some. Kim and Roni if I read it right you are both racing on the weekend. Go girls go.  I missed out on some pretty weird and sidetracked threads here. ( read that fantasy football) . Any way I have managed to keep up with swimming. Our last session for this year is next week. While I haven't really done anything new there, I find it is so great just to be out with other athletes training and having some fun while doing it. I'll be glad when we can get into some running and riding training as well. It sounds like I am going to have to improve on my cycling and running to keep up with some of the others and that suits me just fine.

anyway ttfn and have a good weekend everyone!

Health issues. Let's see. started about a month or so ago. Stomach aches, headaches, weak all over and  tired all the time. Several weeks ago I spent the whole weekend in bed sleeping. two weeks ago I slept 27 hours in a 48 hour time span. I sleep on the train both to and from work. I am eating like crazy but not gaining weight. Everytime I eat I get severe stomach cramps and it seems everytime I try to exercise I get sick again. Then about a week ago I somehow twisted my back and had to stop training completely for a bout 10 days. Add that to the glut issue I had before my HIM which has never completely gone away and it adds up to a pain in the you know what. On top of all that we are crazy busy at work.  I did  a swim on Tuesday with the tri club and by yesterday I just didn't have it in me to get to work. Although I was feeling a little better today took it off too (as much for a mental break as a physical one). Just a bad spell for me which I know I will get over and soon be back up to speed. I was going to go to the doctor today but it seems she's off sick.

OMG -  I know you didnnttt....

ETA - I was thinking there was only one Pontiff anyway - until I wiki'ed it...  apparently the term can be used more generically....

I guess you do actually learn something new everyday!

Welcome Eric - sounds like you are a fellow Texan...  Seems that we have all the major TX cities covered now...  Get in here and start to mix it up some...  This group is a wealth of knowledge - some of which is actually useful!
