Subject: Hello from a Tri-Newbie Hey Everyone. Just signed up for my first triathlon. I'll be doing the New Jersey State Triathlon in the second half of July. I wouldn't exactly consider myself a newbie, but I am sort of starting from scratch. I used to do Adventure Racing because swimming wasn't something I was interested in training for at the time. I also used to do Mtn. bike racing, and long distance running. I took a few years off of long distance training when my friends got into adventure rock climbing, and I haven't been able to do much of anything really in the last two years after my child was born. Now that she is a little older I'm itching to get back into shape. I travel between northern NJ and NYC where I live now just about every day. If you happen to be in the area I'd be happy to meet up. Or if you know of a good tri-club, running club, or biking club, in the area I'd be happy for any advice you may have. Always happy to escape on the bike for some miles. |
