Are you addicted to this site?

oups, i went off-topic. Yes, "problem" with this comunnity is that it is so good that it is addictive. Only a force strong this much could lift me from couch, i am so grateful that my life is taking this turn for a good.

BTW i found on Galloway's site that it is not unusual to have 10-12 false startes until someone manage to adopt a new habit. I think this site helps a great deal to reduce this no of false start.

And this is solitude sport, 99% of training is done alone, so i have an extra excuse to come here. Maybe next year when i will be in better form i wil hang with 3athletes in flesh, for now i am to intimidated. For them i am potato and that's true, and for my sedentary friends i am a freak, but they are too polite to tell that.

Here is an insert from recent conversation with my best friend:

What? why are you writing down a weekly plan? why don't you do what you feel that moment? ... Rest days, fine, mee to, if I go for a walk one day, I can't go for a walk the next day, i'm too tired .....What, 8.... 8 sessions/week? well, uhhmm, wait - but how do you do it, there is only 7 days in a week?.... wow you do MORE THEN ONE thing in a SINGLE day?

Probably, but what does it hurt?  I do have a job, but I'm very good at it and have time to hang here at the same time because of my superior time management skills

Originally I stumbled upon this site because I was looking for a resource for information when I wanted to do my first tri.  I ended up lurking on the forum for a while because this kind of environment was totally foreign to me and I wanted to see what was going on.  I thought people who talked to each other on the Internet were whack jobs looking to score with someone elses husband / wife or share their opinions about exactly what everyone else in the world should be doing or thinking.  But lo and behold, I found people JUST LIKE ME!  They want to do what I want to do, they like what I like, they think running and biking and swimming are fun, even if they aren't very good at it (like me). They have a vast amount of knowledge that I can access instantly just by asking a question, instead of spending massive amounts of time trying to find out on my own.  I can avoid a lot of trial and error that will cost me money that I don't want to spend and time that I don't want to waste. Plus sometimes they totally crack me up (anyone want to resurrect the exploding gel packet thread?).  I live in a small town in Iowa, and the resources here are minimal (tri store - huh? tri club - wha?) but through this site I have found people in my area that I would have never found otherwise.  So yes, my name is Tania and I'm a BT addict.....
