I'm looking for friends in general but anyone with triathlon experience would be a great addition. I'm currently training for my first solo and hoping to stay motivated along the way.

    Hello, Reynaldo here. I'm in the same
    boat. I'm training for my first triathlon this year, and looking to find friends who are also into doing this. Unfortunately I haven't been able to convince any of my friends to join me in this sport. I've got a regular weekly workout routine but need to work on optimizing that and also on improving my nutrition. Hopefully we can share some tips and experiences if you want.

    Great to meet you! What kind of training program are you using?

    I've done some. There's a good group with very experienced people who I've learned from: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/88-triathletes-duathletes

    Hi, I am new to triathlons as well. I completed my first sprint last year only to be sideline for over a year for an unexpected hip injury which required surgery and months of rehab. I am healthy and looking forward to a summer filled with new learning experiences. Please feel free to send me a friend request. Would love to have experienced as well as new triathletes to support and learn from.

    I've been doing tri's for 7 years now. I started from a position of not exercising at all. Friend me if you're still looking for friends.

    I'm mainly a cyclist at the moment, but I have done tri's in the past and still swim a couple of times per week. Anyone training for anything is always free to add me.

    Hi! I've done a couple and have another one this weekend. I don't really have a training schedule, I just do what I can, when I can. I'm not the competitive type :smiley:
