I first met Fleet Feet Knoxville in 2009 when a few coworkers talked me in to trying a sprint triathlon. At the time I was 47 years old and ready to try something new and different. For most of my life I had been a complete tennis fanatic, playing several days every week, participating in local and regional leagues and tournaments. However, following an injury while playing that required surgery and rehabilitation, I never returned to tennis and found myself wondering what to do next. Like most of us, there was always a long list of "I'm going to try this one day" or "I'm going to start doing that" things in the back of my mind that I had never gotten around to. Two of those things were cycling and swimming so when my coworkers suggested a triathlon training class, it sounded like the perfect opportunity to actually mark a couple of items off my bucket list. We signed up for the Tri 101 training program for the Springbrook sprint triathlon and I showed up at the first class with my old mountain bike and a " I wonder if you can teach this old dog a couple of new tricks" attitude!
