Subject: Newbie.. training for first tri
Hello I'm Tara from Tampa and today I start training for my first tri. I'm doing a sprint tri in a few months following one of the training plans on this site. I always respected triathletes thinking that I would never be able to do what you guys do...that triathlons were just out of my league. But here I am and I will do this! I have been cycling for about a year and can handle 13 miles easily.. running and swimming will definitely be my challenges. I signed up for swimming coaching to make sure I train with good form. I'm searching for some triathletes to train with and to get advice from.I appreciate any advice or words of wisdom. Thanks!Wish me luck! haha

Welcome....I'm relatively new to the sport myself....smart to get someone to help you with the swimming from the start.  Good luck!

Good luck and congratulations!  It sounds like you already have a good plan even though it's only your first day of training.  Warning though...you may be addicted!   I would love to be able to train outdoors right now but unfortunately I am in Chicago and it's not quite as much fun with it's snowing and the roads are covered in salt.

I am sure it will.  The addiction to tris has definitely given me a reason to work out/train.  It's not fair that you're in FL though and can train outdoors right now.  Although it is supposed to actually hit 50 degrees next week...I am sure that will last 1 day haha.
