A Deaf future Triathlete

Hello everyone!

    I'm CyborgQueen, aka CQ, aka DJ.

I've been cycling since July of 2009 and put in about 840ish miles, and 52 miles as my longest ride. I hail from NJ, transplanted to Las Vegas for school. I had no idea what Triathlons is all about until my stepsister got involved two years ago, then I learned on my own what it entails. I thought she was crazy...especially that she finished two HIMs within a couple months. She loves it though! I wonder if she uses this site...it's great!

Anyways - I did not want to get involved with Triathlons because I hate to run, I mean I seriously h.a.t.e. to run.  However, after a Multisport information class was offered at a Tri store in town invited by bikinglasvegas.com, I got more intrigued. I realized that I could really do this...especially when my friend (who is in charge of BLV.com) said that I'm subborn, and believed that I could do anything that I wanted to.  I also didn't know that there was a couple cycling friends that were involved with triathlons and some new friends did triathlons.  So...after talking to my friend Michael, he knew it's hard to find a triathlon partner, and I chimed in that I will try to be his partner! I can't back out now!

Got my very first running shoes just last week. I actually started to like running! I'm going to do a couple triathlons here in Vegas, and see where it takes me.

I'm CyborgQueen because I'm deaf with two cochlear implants.  I guess that kinda makes me slightly special.  I've done a search here, and I know there's a couple BT'ers that are deaf as well.  

For now - my goal is to just build up a base during winter season, learn different techniques for running (I just learned how to breathe properly and not have a sore side stitch!), and swimming.  I haven't decided when my real training starts...first gotta register for triathlons. I also will be doing a couple Charity rides (and possibly runs if I *actually* start to enjoy it!). 

I'm kind of a shyster, so if you really want to see my trainning logs and be encourging, I'll add you as a friend. I definitely will do the same for you.
