Hello EN!!!

dan_forbes

Just wanted to say hello again, I did the trial but decided I couldn't foot the bill.... but now I have found a way!  I missed being here and can't wait to get started!  Brief background, I'm relatively new to tris, I've done a half and a full and am scheduled for another half this fall.  I have 3 young children (5, 3, and a new born... yes, I will post a picture because I was once told here it didn't happen unless I did! ), so time is tight, schedule tight and money tight which means one major race a year.  I'm from Oneonta, NY and teach PE there.  I do most of my training indoors for the bike, and on a track for my runs (knee problems), and have only been in the pool once since July.  I love posting to the point I answered a "coaches only" thread once during my trial membership (sorry about that) but I just love the comradeship here and feel everyone is good natured with a lot to offer.    I hope to get to know you all as much as I can and meet you in the future, its tough finding training partners and I have no one to hang out with at races!  I hope you are all getting outside now and that you have stayed injury free this out season with a strong will to work!  Talk to you all soon.

Welcome, or welcome back...

Can't have too much of an upstate NY contingent

Welcome Dan! Nice to have more Upstate NY peeps. I lived in Cooperstown, NY for 6 years and have been to Oneonta many, many times (it's the closest movie theater to Cooperstown). Should have some great weather this weekend for outdoor riding in Otsego county.

Absolutely, don't know if I'll be able to get out... but wishful thinking!!! I ride to cooperstown all the time, too bad you still do not live there, always looking for a training partner!

Welcome Dan! Is Nina's Pizza still around? I lived in Oneonta for about a year after college, which seems like a long, long time ago. Found memories of the area. If you can get out for a few rides, I recall a couple of hills in the area. .

Yes, I don't know how long you've been away, but there seems to be more pizza shops than bars now...Shame. Too many hills, too many clouds, but I love it here!
