Subject: Hi thereHi, I am relatively new to tri's. I have one full season under my belt. This year I have finished my first half Ironman (Ralph's ). I wasn't very fast but I didn't stop smiling the whole time. I had a group of friends here in San Diego that all trained for our first half together. We all had plans of doing an Ironman in 2006. One of my friends signed up for Ironman Florida this year so that pushed our plans up a year. Now a few of us are doing IM Arizona in April 2005.
I was really scared because I haven't done a marathon before and am not a great runner.
All the Ironman forums are filled with people who have done millions of IM's before, which in some repects doesn't help me much.
I felt a lot better reading here that there are other tri newbies like Tiger Phil who are in the same boat.
I think this forum is great!
Thanks for having me
