Hi Ladies Has the cold/rain got you down? Are you feeling mushier than your kids peeps? I know I am! I just wanted to send out a spring reminder that there...
Mauar, would it be horrible if I copy and paste your e-mail? This is great, or maybe you could just forward it? I know some events are MMTC only but we could...
Maura, I'm so sorry! I plan to check for typo's from now on...and sorry for sending the message to the whole group I meant for it to go to Maura, or...
I have registered for the Bethesda tri for this weekend, but am not sure I should try it. I haven't had much time to train, only a month (since I found out...
Karla: Relax......and just do it. You'll finish and be very proud of yourself. Enjoy it. Use it as a learning experience: for transitions, for pacing. ...
Karla~ The reason to do a tri is to finish it. Speed really does not matter. Flip turns do not matter~ a lot of triathletes do not know how to do one. This...
Definitely do it!! There is no such thing as "too slow to even bother"! Go and have fun - every event doesn't have to be about how fast you finish. Sometimes...
I also think u should do it. I don't know how to do a flip turn and I only see about half the people in my masters group do them. You won't be laughed out of...
I agree with everyone 100 %! This is a popular race for first-timers, so you'll be in good company. I'll be out there, and can look for you. How will I find...
Older than whom? You won't be the oldest one there, I promise. Bethesda is a great starting triathlon. Go and have fun. Be prepared to be pretty cold waiting...
Dawn, I'll be the really slow one in the back in a purple suit and some kind of shorts. I don't know how to otherwise distinguish myself. Where will you ...
I will try to find you in transition before the whole thing starts. I'm tall, have brown hair, probably will be wearing black, and have a royal blue Trek road...
My friend is going to do the IG relay and is looking to borrow/find a used bike. Other than Craig's list, does anyone have any suggestions? She's 5'8" so she...

Maura, I didn't get in the race this year, so your friend is welcome to borrow my bike. I am 5'7", so maybe it would work for her. Given the limited amount of...
I'm planning on riding the Columbia course again from Princeton this Friday weather permitting. Perhaps we can leave a bit earlier this week to avoid the...
I just wanted to thank those of you who encouraged me to do the Bethesda tri this past Sunday. I went, and I finished, which was my goal. I didn't break any...
Congratulations, Karla! Hooray for you! Thanks so much for reporting back. I have been wondering how you did! Wendy ... I just wanted to thank those of you...
Many congratulations, Karla! You are a triathlete!!! Many of us started out the same way as "adult-onset athletes". Glad you could join the party!! ~~~~~~~ *...
 Huge congratulations Karla! Isn't it great to give yourself permission to really enjoy life through exercise? I was also over 50 when I first "tri"ed. ...
If people can leave from Princeton by 1230 it might help the school bus situation. I probably won't be there. I have a long run on Saturday and need to do...
Congratulations Karla, that's awesome. Is anyone riding the Metric on Sunday? And do you have any advise for someone who has bitten off way more than she can...
I'm riding Sunday and looking for a nice easy pace...around 14-15 mph. Hope to have some people to join me...Amy ... From: verogal72 <verogal72@...> ...

I've volunteered to be on the ride and help out - would love some company. 14 - 15 mph would be perfect for me but might have to stop to help somebody if they...
