I haven't raced since 1994 when I did the Ironman in Japan. I have done 2 other IM races, Canada and Hawaii, both in 1991. I have done about 5 or 6 half IM races, including the Vineman, Wildflower (3x), and one in the Las Vegas area that I can't even remember the name of. Beyond that, lots of Olympic distance and shorter races as well. I have kept up with cycling on and off since then, but haven't done much swimming. Not too much running either, but bouts of it here and there. Anwyay, I decided to get back in shape a couple months ago and have fallen back into the rhytms of triathlon training and figured I might give it a go next season. I signed up for the Boise 70.3 and IM Kentucky as a reward to myself for getting back into good shape (and, of course, to have a nice goal to keep me going). I'll probably do some local shorter races in the spring. This all assumes that I can fight off injuries - I have had some knee problems in the past, so I'm only sticking with the stairmaster instead of running until I get into better shape. The cycling has come along well and I'm finally finding some strength in the pool. Oh yeah, I'm now 43 years old, so I guess that means the last time I did a triathlon I was 29.
