for anyone interested in America's fastest growing sport there is a decent article on training for your first triathlon, a 12 week regimen, in the March issue of Men's Journal magazine...the article applies to women and men

    be careful, tri's are like golf- they are addictive. I did my first sprint a year and a half ago, followed by an international, another sprint, and now I am training for an ironman in September. This website is great for logging your exercise and food in take.

    Awesome!! My training buddies did a half IM last year and I went to cheer them on. It was an incredible thing to watch, there was also a full IM going on and to see those athletes crossing the line was a tear-jerker!!! Good luck!

    I'm thinking of running the Pumpkin Man half triathlon this year. I ran 2 full marathons last year and plan on doing 2 full marathons again this year so the trick for me will be to fit the triathlon inbetween and not negatively impact my training for the marathon.:wink:
