Thanks for joining us. Good to hear a little change in your training (adding swimming and biking) has relieved some of the aches. The cross training definitely helps keep things balanced. good luck with your upcoming races.

*grin* I started tri's as motivation to cross train as well, also as a runner that was stressing out joints and such too much. Welcome to the new addiction!
Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. I am a long-time runner and due to constant aches (self-induced) needed something to keep me fit but still involving running.
Mainly ran 5k's, I am a converted sprinter (400m).
Joined a Master's swim class over a month ago and have been loving it. Purchased my bike over a month ago and am loving that as well.
I have three sprint tri's slated for the upcoming months and can't wait. The first one is May 15th and is a super-sprint, ought to break me in.
