 1 |  Subject: Newbie upstate NYHello everyone. Jan 4th 2008 I weighed 222lbs and smoked a pack a day. On Jan 5th 2008 I put down the smokes and started my membership at the ocal YMCA. Feb 5th 08 I hadn't smoked yet and my weight was 210. I haven't weighed my self to date but all my cloths are to big and I get alot of compliments on how well I look. I'm 38 yrs old, Married with 3 kids. I'm a Correction Officer for Albany County Sherrifs Dept. On April 6th I ran my first 5mile race I finished 270th out of 607 with a time of 41:15. Very proud of myself. Now its on to a sprint triathlon in may. Came to this site for training help and advice. GB

| New user 1 | Subject: RE: Newbie upstate NY Hi and congratulations on your progress! I'm curious to know what training program you are using? I will be doing my first tri-athalon at the end of June. I am also from upstate but further up (Buffalo) I am 39 with 2 children.. Not always easy to get in the workouts as I work full-time as well! I'll be anxious to hear all about your race! Especially since it's before mine!! |

Expert 882    Fort Bragg | Subject: RE: Newbie upstate NY Welcome to BT. I've had the pleasure of working out at the East Greenbush YMCA. It's a nice facility. My in-laws live in that area. My father-in-law is a retired trooper. You should consider doing the duathlon put on the by NY State Troop Foundation. It's for a fallen trooper. I can find out the info if you're interested. Just PM or inspire my blog. Steve |

There are also some great training plans you should check out. I did my 1st tri (oly) last summer and used one of the free plans here -did pretty well. Beware these tri's are very addictive! |
