I was never athletic at all aside from running (more like jogging) so it was a totally new experience for me. There is nothing quite like the first race as well. Looking forward to it.... The couple of people I was telling about my plan think that I am crazy... I am so glad, that I found BT!!! ;-) Everyone except for other triathletes will think you're crazy. I'm surprised my friends and family haven't staged an intervention |

I feel like all politicians just lie and say what you want to hear so it's kind of pointless to watch. Weve got it on all the office TVs here... but thankfully Im not quite close enough to hear the details... This is the first time I can remember there being quite so much interest here in the US debates/election... always a lot of interest but it seems much BIGGER this time! (obviously what happnes in the US affects this part of the world) That's likely because most of the world is thrilled that our current administration is coming to an end. FINALLY. |

When I was out jockstrapping and signing up for IMWI I got to meet a bunch of BTers I'll be racing with so I already feel like I'm doing it with friends. My family prefers me being active to me being overweight... So right now they are happy... Let's see when they start getting concerned about my sanity... But on the other hand... My dad started to get back into sports with around 60 and does a sport certificate (5 disciplins and you have to reach certain time/distance etc) every year since..... Probably runs in the family. |

And any business... the reverse is true too... when someone starts changing something it can initially seem like a really bad thing. But 6-12 months later you can realise the long term benefits are actually for the best... |
