Tri Training

SDMHudson

Hi all,

Is there anyone here who wants to compolete a triathlon sometime within the next year or so?

I would like to complete an Iron Girl triathlon this year, if not, then early next year. I have been training with my personal trainer, but have only been doing weight training.

Anyone have any tips or training plans that they have and are using? I have used www.beginnertriathlete.com and I'm reading "Slow, Fat, Triathlete" right now, I just need to do the road work now, lol. Looking for buddies.

I'm doing the Mesa Sprint Triathlon in October. I started training about 6 weeks ago - I'm having the most issues with swimming! But I'm doing pretty well so far. Feel free to friend me!

Kellybones- yeah, swimming is my hardest part as well. Are you trying to place or are you just trying to finish. I think at this point, I'm just trying to finish.

I'm just going to finish. I've only occasionally placed in 5ks - and it's usually by accident! I can't imagine placing in anything that involves swimming!
