Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Michele and I am from PA. I have never done a triathlon but plan on doing a sprint one very soon. I have just been training on my own. I didn't realize there was so much information on this site. I just realized that most people follow a training plan for months before they compete. Oh well, I guess I will see how I do. I am super-duper excited! I also look forward to talking to some of you as I'm sure we must share similar interests. 

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

 

Michele

I spent many summers in PA growing up as a kid.  I've been at this for a little over three years now, though I've always been into some manner of training since high school.  "Just finishing" is a great goal for your first race.  What are the distances?

Good luck and have fun.  I was hooked on this sport after my first sprint tri and I was happy just to finish.

Thanks for the good wishes. It is a sprint so I believe the distances are 500m swim, 16 mile bike and 3 mile run. Doesn't sound too bad, but we will see. haha. oh and yea, PA is nice in the summers!
