Road bike purchasing question - women specific bikes?
Hi there, This question is mainly for the ladies, although the guys out there might have answers too, especially if you train women. I'm about to buy my first road bike and have a very limited budget so I want to get this purchase right since I managed to buy the worst mountain bike ever the last time I was left to my own…

First triathlon: achieved!
I did it! It's done! And it was both terrible and wonderful. For anyone who is interested (or who has their first one coming up too), here are a few details about my race: I went in to it thinking that my swim would be strong, bike weak, and run average. I was wrong. Unfortunately I've been fighting a pretty nasty chest…

First triathlon tomorrow!
Eep! Tomorrow is my first triathlon and I'm very nervous! I managed to break my bike this week (yes, amazing timing) so I will be borrowing a bike on the day that I haven't used before. I'm also battling the tail end of some annoying bronchitis. So my confidence is a little wavery! Anyone have any good motivational…

The Fear
Hi guys, This is a bit of a long winded post but here we go: So, while looking for a challenge to take on after I complete my super sprint tri in June (as everyone in my club says, you can't just do one tri in a season!) I signed up for a triathlon that is half way between a super sprint and a sprint. That seemed like a…

Biking Etiquette
Hello all! So I'm two months away from my very first tri and I have some burning questions. I'm doing the road portion on a mountain bike (I can't afford a new bike this year but if end up loving this I might get one next year) so can't go out training with my club as they have a no mountain bikes rule for their group…

Total Beginner!
Hi all! I'm completely new to the sport of Triathlon but have been interested in taking it up for years. I'm going to attempt my first super-sprint Tri in June so I'm really pleased to find this group - hopefully some of you can offer me some advice! Over the last few years I've done a few 10 and 5Ks but I'm very slow.…

Weyburn or Estevan, Saskatchewan?
Hi all! I know this is a bit of a long shot but is anyone on here from Southern Saskatchewan? I'm going to be there in a few weeks and am looking for both a) a good gym to go to and b) some fitness classes to attend. I pretty much like any type of classes but spin is my favourite. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Advice for weight loss out on the road
Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice. This coming work week is going to be a killer. I'm away from home Monday to Friday, in different parts of the country, at different events all of which will be catered and none of which will leave much time for exercise. It's also unlikely that I will have internet access to log in to…

30DS with shin splints: alternative cardio?
Hi guys, I wonder if you could help me out. I know a ton of people on here have done the 30DS so I thought you could shed some light on my problem. I've recently developed shin splints because I've been running a lot while training for a couple of 10Ks. I have also recently started the 30DS (on Day3 of Level 1) and am…

Wanna be my friend?
Hi all, So I'm not technically new to the site but I had a bit of a vacation from it over the summer (and a vacation from weight loss - hello re-losing the same ten pounds!) while I was away and came back to find most of my friends had, understandably, gone. I love the support of having folk who can encourage you, and…

Weight-training Ladies
Hi there, I've recently had some former schoolmates who have really transformed themselves with (drug-free) weight training and look completely amazing now - it's been very inspiring to see, and they're so much stronger and healthier. Are there any other ladies on here who do relatively heavy lifting? I'm interested in…

Hi all!
Hello there, Although I've been using this site for a little while, I didn't realise that that all these community features were here. What a nice surprise! I have a number of different goals including a 1/2 marathon in September, toning up, and losing 40lb to get to my goal weight. Grateful for any support from those of…
