Great little article, Sara. Let's give ourselves a pat on the back! That is what I find we do during races as well as on this board: encourage each other. We all started from scratch at one point or another and need to find information and inspiration. I started triathlons at age 50 after being involved in cycling for most of my life (a little racing, touring, mostly recreational riding). This board has been hepful and I am happy to pass along my experience to others.
Good luck to all and have fun!
