Hi!

I’m Alyie, I’m 18 and just starting to get into triathlons. OK so I haven’t done one yet but I’m thinking about it. I’ve been running since I was 12 and am training for my first marathon right now… temporarily on hold due to a possible stress fracture in my right tibia. I swam for 4yrs competitvely - distance free and fly - and so right now my XT has been swimming and biking. 4wks to go until I can run (give or take one or two…) but I realized I don’t want to stop XT because I love to swim and bike!!!

I’ve been lurking for awhile; I wanted to join in the fun… so hi!!!

Hi back…and welcome. Just so we can get it out of the way…your seat is too high, you don’t swim enough, and you don’t exist without pictures. :slight_smile:

If that confuses you then stick around a bit and you will learn to love this place and the sport!

Welcome Tigerchik. If you were a regular lurker, you know already not to take anything personal. Also, you know you do not exist without a picture. You know that there are lots of ST that’ll hit on you (by the way, are you single?).

Good luck on your stress fracture recovery. Keep your training and triathlons fun and make it a positive lifestyle. Keep on posting!

Your name isn’t in reference to the Clemson Tigers by any chance is it?

I just heard the collective “GASP”, and clutch their chests, all the while calling their cardiologists using speed dial.

re: Clemson tigers.

No. The name is because I have an intense, firey personality … and I’m a girl.

I know someone who goes by Banana Slug but not because he went to UC Santa Cruz.

welcome. with that out of the way, some rules…

  1. do NOT give anyone here your phone number or address.
  2. do NOT allow anyone to photograph you.
  3. with regard to mr. tibbs, do NOT approach the cell. if you need to pass him anything, give it to me and i’ll give it to him.

obey these rules and you just might survive this forum.

"yes, I’m single :slight_smile: "

You’re 18 so let’s hope so!!! And don’t worry about me - I’m waaaaay to old for you. I don’t date women younger than my daughter. :slight_smile:
