Finished my first race this past weekend and like I've read so many times here, I'm hooked! Thanks to everyone here that has given advice and posted their experiences! That has been such a big help to me.

Here's my race report: http://www.trifuel.com/forums/showthread.php?p=81940#post81940

Be warned, it's long! :lol:

Welcome to T.A.
we all are hooked here!!!! Advise: don´t keep track on how much $ you spend on this sport cause after 1 year you might pull your hairs. After I checked how much I spent last year I almost went bald!!!

Hyperactive Trifueler!!!! (I refuse to let the status go :p)

Besides pulling the hair outta your head - many here will try to get you to pull the hair outta your legs, errr shave 'em at least :eek:

Welcome to the club.

I did my first mini-sprint last May when my wife challenged me to try and swim 300m (I couldn't). I've now done 6 races in the last 17 months and completed my first 70.3 on Sunday.

keep challenging yourself and you will be amazed at your accomplishments.

Always tri - B.A.M.F.

Way to go on the swim! I know that can be a hard one to get thru.

You are exactly right about challenging yourself. I'm already going over my times and making some decisions of what areas I need to improve if I want to move up in my age group. It isn't going to be easy, but no matter, I'm going to get there anyway!!

On the other hand, I know what I spend on this sport is a lot less than what a number of friends spend for going out eating/drinking/clubbing most of the year. ;)
