Subject: Surrey BC, Thinking about first triathlon...gulp! Hi folks. I'm 50 years old and have spent the last year coming back from a heart problem -- ended up with a permanent pacemaker! After 7 months off work have slowly slowly worked way back to some level of fitness and can now reasonably comfortably do a slow 5K (around 30 min). Am also doing some endurance (uphill) work on the treadmill and working on the stationary bike. Sadly I work 12 hour shifts (including nights) so I can only get to train on days off (usually 4 on, 5 off). I have set my sights on doing the 2012 Delta Triathlon (my first!) and would appreciate some tips on: 1: What sort of training I should be doing 2: Whether there's any local training groups / clubs -- I use North Surrey Rec facility 3: If anyone's interested in keeping in touch and being an online mentor of sorts David Surrey BC |
