My 1st tri was Dublin City 2003, it took me 18 months to recover.....returned in 2005 and done the try a tri in Limerick and was hooked! went on to do about 12 tris and 4 duathlons in '05 and continued in 2006.
I am now hopelessly addicted....I spend all day working in the shop playing with the toys and talking to triathletes, train in the evening and mornings, surf tri sites and listen to tri podcasts when running, now I'm running a tri club, I own about 40 t shirts, all relating to cycling or tri's, have caught up with my better half on the shoe count......all of mine are runners/cycling related, I reckon I have a problem..........
