Ok, so I blame Lara and Lois and Emily and Lucy for joining. I'm 57 1/2, doing my first sprint tri at CP in May and another in July. I'm not competitive (except with myself), but love sport and exercising. I used to throw the javelin for Barnet. My day job is as a writer. Only started running a year ago, having told everyone never to run because it's bad for you...have been doing pilates for 6 years, yoga for 3, I'm a later in life swimmer, strong and competent. Only bought a bike this year, the last one I owned was a Chopper aged 13...been going to the velodrome since Oct...it's tough but I love it! My main worry is getting out of a wetsuit...I had a minor panic attack at the Lido yesterday, when I finally put it on...it's been lying across a chair in my office for 6 months... thanks to Lara and Lois for 1-2-1 offers of help...I will take you up on it. I can't quite believe I've joined a triathlon club...I used to watch you all training, thinking, wow, if only...so it's a bit strange and wonderful to think this is where I am, 2 1/2 years off 60. Looking forward to meeting those I don't know. Be gentle with me...I like cake and coffee...and can bake...
