Came back to the site to map a route to see how long it would be and thought I'd jump back into see if I knew anyone or if anyone remembered me!

 

Hope all is well!

Stopped by to check somethings on my old logs.  Haven't been here for a LONG time.  Joined BT in early 2004; hard to believe that over 15 years have gone by.

Gave up doing triathlons after doing St. Anthony's in 2015.  My right knee has some chronic problems and I developed Dupuytren's Contracture in my hands, which made riding difficult and painful.  Actually just sold my bike a couple of weeks ago.

Have been swimming full-time with a Masters swim club since 6/15, doing about 500,000 yds/year.  Enjoy it a lot. 

There are still some BTers that I keep in touch with from the old days, mostly on FB.  

Be well, 

Mark

Still here, even since 2008, but not a lot new to chat about. I still use the training plans/logs daily as my "master" record (connect and strava are ok but not complete). Learned a lot back in the day though!

Life got in the way. Married with a kid. Now basically more of a involuntary shut in who does not know how I would be able to do a triathlon again though I really want too.

Heyooo, party peeps! Been away for years...training, lots of work, moved to PNW, stayed off most forums and social media - needed a super detox from the hectic years keeping Welshy at bay...

First login in probably...a year or two? Stay in touch with most of my BT Pledge class via FB or IG - sort of the 2005 cohort...but got to know a ton of you via being a mod...so being back here and seeing this thread, most of you I've known or modded for years, a bit of a throwback...what's old is new?

Hope you all are well.

Been around, but just not active here. Transitioned to off road riding- long gravel and an off road tri, Wilderman. Hung up the tri bike a year ago after doing IM Kona. Floundering a bit now that I have less regimented training. Will find a purpose one of these days and get something in the plan.

My profile says I first registered Nov. of 2004. While I never really left I'm not usually posting a lot. I've been slowly getting back at it after backsliding pretty much to couch level for a few years. Starting to think I might even be up to a sprint or an oly next year.

I've been registered since 2008. I do keep my log updated here and track my usage for my running shoes and power meter batteries. I haven't posted much lately, but still check things out regularly.

I registered in Nov 2004 (!) so just done 15 years of logging on the site -not many missed days in all that time.In some respects I never expected any website to last this long but so pleased it has.

I use the site as my master log for races and training and post my races as they happen. The Race Forum is about the only forum I go to regularly - I like to read the experiences of others. Used to post a bit in the injury forums at a time when I had a few! 

No plans to go anywhere else.

I check this thread every few years just to see where everyone has disappeared to—although apparently I haven’t logged onto BT since 2017. Earlier this year, I was all like “I’m going to get back into triathlons” but then Covid happened. As to what happened to me, I now have a six-year-old and almost year old, and with these two and work and life, haven’t even thought much about triathlons or BT in a long time. I do keep up with a few people from 2005-2008 on Facebook.

Well I am back because I wanted to get a customized plan for Ironman Memphis 70.3.

 

Now I just hope they don't cancel it!

Well, it looks like I've picked the right time to join the forum and start exercising again... Should I stay there, or look for another community?

I came back after not training for about a year. Now that I'm back at it (running), i thought I'd come check in. It's quiet in here (BT) and I'm not sure how I feel about that! LOL!
I was never a super-active poster, but I enjoyed reading the conversations, and the wealth of knowledge from everyone else was invaluable.
It does feel good in its own way to be back on BT, though. Feels like coming home in a way (BT was my first forum site when I started training for tris years ago).

I heard today that BT is still ticking.  Thought I would take a look....   Sure enough.  Looks exactly the same except for a very empty training log.

Hey Jim... Its been a while!

I pop back on here a couple times a year, sites still here. Not what it used to be back in the TAN days tho...

I dont get on the FB very much, hope all is well with you.

When we can travel again I'll have to convince Goggs and Cord to do a Vegas weekend again.

Oh wow! I registered in 2005 and was pretty active but stopped doing triathlons officially in 2018. Just doing ultra marathons now and riding for fun. Thinking of going back into the world of triathlon next year.

Hoping to get reconnected with like minded people to keep me motivated!

Reading the comments about when you created your accounts and I had to go look...... Looks like I started wtih BT back in 2004. Amazing that I've used the site for 17 years. While I don't check the forums regularly any longer, BT has always been my log of all training and equipment. I still use it every day to update the log. Thanks to the crew for keeping it up and running !
