Triathlete with an open water fear...Tips please!
Hi ladies! I am new to the Triathlete world only doing it a year now and coming up on my third tri. I was a runner for years and have come to love swimming & biking if not more than running as it is easier on the joints (which I tend to have an issue with at the age of 30) My problem is I am decent in the pool can swim a…
Tall Girl Help
Anyone know somewhere I can buy a tall tri-top. I am 5'10" and most of my height is my torso. I need something tall. I also need some room for my girls (thanks to breastfeeding). I will wear a sports bra underneath so I don't have any concern there. Also I am currently about a size 18, so need it to go above a medium. Tall…
Helpful websites
Id like to thank irishginger for pointing people to the athleta website which has a training program for triathlons incl 5k, 10k and half marathon running program's. I've been using the c25k app, but have found that although I need the interval training part of the app, I can do the app twice in one session...it's just a…
Anyone doing Shock Absorber Women's Triathlon in July '14?
Hi there, Was wondering if anyone was doing this race? Or have done a race at Dorney park before? I am wondering how I am going to transport my bike to the hotel the night before. I won't have a car so will take a train from London to Slough. From there, I would take a taxi to the hotel but I'm assuming most taxi's won't…
Swim workouts
What is your favorite 30-45 minute swim workout? Do you hit the water and just swim laps or do you do drills with pull buoy and kick board?
What do you wear?
My first triathlon is in two weeks and I didn't want to blow a ton of money on a new sport and a triathlon suit. I also don't like wearing wetsuits for swimming. For my triathlon, I decided on wearing some Old Navy brand compression pants, a cotton thong, my normal sports bra, and a rash guard from REI (it's tight enough…

First Triathlon
I will be doing my first triathlon in two weeks, which is also a girl only tri. I have really been enjoying my training for the several weeks. I have also lost 10 pounds since I started the training, so woot! Feel free to friend me if you wish.
Training help!!
Hi. I am a new runner (still run/walking) and am planning on doing a 10k on September 29th and then a 10-miler on November 3rd. I am looking for help customizing a training schedule that would start this Sunday and would carry through until the 10-miler in November. Some background. I completed the C25K program in February…
First Sprint Triathlon - Female only race
Hey, I'm hoping to get some insight from those who have previously completed a sprint triathlon. I have one on Sept 30th 2012, and it will be my first. Any advice or helpful hints? I think my biggest worry would be transitions, which I know you're supposed to practice, and the bike to run portion. It's an indoor swim then…
