Hi there!  So, all of Oregon!  I'm new, well, not really, but sort of.  I was really actively involved in BT for about 3 years, tracking all my training, working hard... becoming an Ironman... then, well, all hell broke loose.  I got a new job, moved to a new spot in Oregon, and most sigificantly became single after 23 years of being with the same person... yeah, it stung a bit.

So, now I'm picking myself back up and getting my $4!t together.  I'm getting back into more solid training, I'm gonna work on meeting people to train with, and I'm gonna start focusing on my own life now.  Thus, I'm becoming New...

Anyone relatively near Newport and activily training, get a hold of me... I don't mind going to Corvallis, Lincoln City, Florence... Portland and Eugene would be great weekend training trips... I'll even drive all the way over to Bend if you are doing a group ride or something fun..

Hope to talk to people soon..

Gene

Welcome!

I don't know anything about the coast opportunities (other than great OW swimming), but you'll find a triathlete club in Corvallis, Eugene & Portland. The clubs in C & E may be affiliated w/ the universities or at least have a core group from them.

This weekend there is a great oly just outside Eugene if you are ready.

and there is a popular sprint the week after in corvallis

Lots of racing opportunities in Portland. Blue lake is popular in June

and my favorite sprint (also an oly) is in Bend in July

Yep... already signed up for the Duck Bill Thrill... Anyone else doing it, let me know.  I'll have about 4 friends from Coos Bay there with me.

Right now, looking for more training partners in the Central and Northern parts of the state...
