Why hello there TriFuel crew. I just stumbled upon this site and am just plum giddy to be a new member. I've been racing triathlon on and off since 1992 but am training for my first Ironman now. Fun times! Rockon.

Thanks! I'm doing Ironman USA (Lake Placid). I figure if I'm going in, I might as well do one of the hardest! ;)

Woooo southern CA! :)
Although as for the claim the IM USA is one of the hardest... I think each one is "one of the hardest" ;) Although I guess some have more hills, some have heat, etc. Probably "hardest" just comes down to what the racer has a harder time dealing with...

Hey J,

Welcome to trifuel. I might be up in Lake Placid to Volunteer this year. It will also give me a chance to check out the course.
Maybe I'll see you up there.

Heh heh... yes, I do suppose that every Ironman is essentially the hardest, depending on who you are. Good point. And I suppose that I referred to IM USA as "one of the hardest" because there is a ton of climbing and, well, I'm really more of a fast flats rider.

Of course, what I really want to do is direct.

:D

Hi to all! It is an awesome thing to see so many people that have made a commitment to themselves and a great sport. I just finished my first sprint in Clermont Fl last weekend. I started in Jan and I am hooked. I look foward to talking with all of you.
