Subject: Any Original BT members out there?

Hey all! I am sort of an original member of BT.   Started maybe around 2004 or 2005 and was pretty consistent on there through 2014 or 2015.   It was a great community- probably still is!    I am signed up for IMFL and thought I'd hop back on..this was a great place to meet people- and actually ended up with some real life close friends from here.   Ahhhh, the days before Facebook!  

Anyway, just wondering who is still around from back in the day?    Cheers ??

I used training programs from BT in 2004 to finish my first super sprint. Came back in 2005 to register, and been here off and on ever since. I definitely see more of my BT pals on Facebook and Instagram than anywhere else, but also check in here frequently since all my training is logged here. BT was pre-Strava! Ahhhh, the old days.

I joined in 2006, so not quite "original" but long nonetheless   I still use the log to log everything I do, fitness-wise.  It's quite a data set at this point.

Joined in September 2005 after completing my first triathlon and lurking for almost 2 months.  

Sometime a while back, I could find my member ID which also correlated with joining BT, but can't find it any more.

I had to look at my profile to check when I had first registered here... January 2006.

I like the spirit of this place...I don't use strava- it feels like too much of a competition to me.   I use training peaks for logging but may start to double log and hop back in     What's on your race calendar this year?

I am quite certain your "screen name" is familiar to me    I was pretty consistent on here for about 10 years then it got spotty.  It's good to see people still on here!

Yay!  There is something about this site that calls me back   The good memories?  The positive atmosphere?  I dunno.   It's where I was when I started.   Thanks for chiming in!

Definitely not one of the originals but I have been here on and off since 10/06/2009.

Was absent for a while but I am getting back into it. Love the way I am feeling.

I dont have strava. I started back up posting my workouts on here.

I totally remember your screen name, McFuzz...and I see you have your same profile picture.  I remember it b/c you are climbing. Always wanted to get into climbing and in the last year or so I have.  We have an amazing indoor gym a mile from here and I have been out to CO for some beginner outdoor climbs.  I think you can look in your profile for your registration date? I will have to check that to see when I joined!  Cheers.

It's really amazing how it can make you feel..I have done some ultra running...but have found as I get older it is a bad idea!  My body doesn't tolerate the mega running.   I also did some endurance swimming, which was great...but there is really something about all 3 at once that leaves you feeling pretty spectacular.  I don't do strava, either.  Not my thing.  Good for you getting back to it!

Late 2005 - I found the site while looking for a place to log my training but stumbled into the forums and 10,0000 hours of time spent reading/writing posts later, I'm still here...

Anyone in this thread a refugee from TriNewbiesOnline?

I've been here since my first tri in 2012. I might not be an original, but 7 years is a long time. I have more recently taken a hiatus from racing, but still run 3 days a week, bike regularly from April through Oct, and swim on the weekends. If I hadn't had BT to support me, I don't think I would have incorporated tri into my life so completely that I still train it all the time, even without the motivation of a race. I continue to be very thankful for this forum!

Looks like we both started about the same time on here...I did actually get a plan or two from trinewbies! I never used BT plans...and after I jumped up to Ironman I hired a coach.   Is trinewbies still around, I wonder??

That is great! I feel like I get super lazy without a race   I wish I could just "exercise" but I am not sure I would have the same dedication without the race!  Even though I like the training better than racing for the most part.    Go figure

Oh, now there are some memories. TTN's fixie riding on Powercranks? Or the ultimate blow-up of "Disappointed"? The throw-down between TNO and ST at... which tri was that?

'Dissapointed' -how it was spelled in the thread - was the most train-wrecky in real-time thread ever created. I didn't understand what I was reading until about the time the thread got pulled, which happened pretty quickly, IIRC. I don't remember the throw down well but can't imagine it went well for the TNO folks..

Registered in 2008 and still logging consistently.  It's nice to go back and see how far I've come.  I've met a couple of people from the site over the years and consider one a good friend (latestarter).

I have logged every one of my workouts here since December 2010. I did IMFL in 2011. You are going to love it if the weather is good. It was a great PR for me.. I would like to beat it someday but I am getting older and slower. I might do it again next year.
