in Introduce Yourself
Oops should be "Any triathletes out there?" Looking for fellow triathletes to friend on MFP. The race season is almost here and I would love to connect with other members who are training and trying to lose weight at the same time!

    Me too! I joined a triathlon club last year and did two international distance races. This year I'm signed up for a sprint and will do another international distance too. Also do running races as well :) So happy tri-season is here!

    I won't call myself a triathlete. However, I have done about 10, and I am currently training for Wildflower (70.3) for the third time (for a charity both times).

    I am currently training for my first full marathon in April but after that I will start training for my first triathlon. I am looking forward to it but to be honest I'm a little nervous about the swimming portion! :)

    I did the very same thing before jumping in. In fact I worked my way up from doing a 10k run race, 10 mile run race, duathlon the next summer, and then did my first tri. I was so hooked that I signed up for a second one the next month and have never looked back!

    I have always wanted to do it and now I think I am going to go for it. This weekend I am volunmteering at one. I think that will also help me see the live action. :-) I probably won't be in onw until next summer but would love to hear any stories. Do you do your own training plans, online, coach? Very curious.

    Volunteering is a great way to be involved. It will make you appreciate the volunteers even more when you do compete. I think the first couple of years I raced I followed a plan from a book (one that Triathlete magazine published). Now I just do my own thing making sure I hit all of the disciplines and don't increase more than 10% from the week before. I probably should just sit down and find a good plan to follow now that I've been doing it for a few years.
