I am starting this thread for the following reasons: 1. Share training experience and new techniques 2. To support each other through times of doubt 3. Discuss equipment 4. Discuss races/events 5. Recent news 6. Group swims/rides/runs This is not about complaining about costs of bikes, events, location, times ect. It is my hope to share positive experience with like minded people who are involved in triathlon or are looking to be involved in triathlon.
