Looking for people who fancy Olympic, Half or full Tris, and will be doing any of the three in 2012.

    I have completed two 70.3 in 2011. My goal now is to do 2 more 70.3 and then a 140.6 in 2013.

    hey there Bryce and Gemma, thanks for dropping by here, I did not realise this site was so quiet regarding triathlons.

    nice couple of goals you have there,

    I am taking the step to tri this year, having done three 1/2s and a marathon recently, happy on the bike with summer 130km commuter days along with 160km rides. The swims are my current weak point at about 29mins/km.

    I have a 21km planned for January with 42km in April, so will continue to focus on those as well as keeping the hours on the bike up, and continue to work on the swim at a local tri club,

    FRs sent, roll on the winter TT sessions.

    I have done a few Oly distance and a half IM. I will look at doing another half in 2012 and a few oly distance as well as the sprints.

    I have done I think (lost count) 4 Olympics, 12 Sprints (could be more) 1 Half Iron 70.3 Rev 3, and I made it to mile 42 of the bike in my second 70.3 before my DNF. I am doing one race in 2012 (OK I might do a sprint and Olympic) 2012 IM Canada pending I can get there injury free. But that is the plan. I love Triathlons welcome!!

    I got into Tri's this past year. Did all sprints for year 1. Olympic distance is on the horizon for 2012 - sprints are going to be part of the prep to hit the Columbus, OH tri late July with for an Olympic distance. The longer the swim the better for me, running is my growth opportunity still :)
