Subject: Runner turned Tri (I hope)
I'm a pretty solo trainer, love my long runs. Completed 3 marathons, a few half marathons, and a handful of 10Ks and 5Ks since 2010 when I turned 30. I said in my youth I would never run - so that happened. Then I said I would never do Tri - and here we are. Never say never!

Bought my first bike since I was 12 about three years ago. Got in the pool around the same time and thought I would never get the hang of breathing but now I finally have both sides down. I have two kids, 1 and 4, and right before I was pregnant with my 2nd I finally realized I wanted to do a triathlon. Unfortunately morning sickness killed that dream and I lost all interest in physical activity (surprising after running until week 40 with my first). So I took a hiatus until about 6 months post partum when I joined a gym with child care. That got addictive fast!...so here I am, 16 months after baby #2, and I'm signed up for my first triathlon (Olympic distance) Aug 19!

Welcome to the sport.  

My running partner years ago would refer to my "psycho friends" after listening to us on a few runs.  

Yea...my NEVER forecasts have proved to be quite inaccurate.

Welcome to the sport and best of luck! There are lots of helpful people on the BT site, so post up any questions you have and I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback. There is a lot to learn but then the journey is where the true fun lies!
