Subject: New from Utah- just started training!
Hello! I am from Utah and just starting my triathlon training (for an Olympic size in September!). I started running last summer and have run two half marathons and just ran a full marathon a week and a half ago. My husband has been doing triathlons (half Ironman races) for a couple of years so I am going to give it a shot.

I swam in high school but that was 20 years ago so I feel like I am starting over. I've really only ever ridden mountain bikes and beachcruisers up until now...my road bike feels so different!

So far this week, I've biked (ftp test on a trainer), run(although my knee still hurts from the Ogden marathon), swam and completed a round of light weights and core strengthening.

I look forward to gathering tips and support from other newbies and experienced triathlons.

Welcome to BT and the amazingly addictive world of triathlons!!! Congrats on your marathon finish - your endurance capabilities there will serve you well as you venture to tris. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site, so go soak it all up. It sounds like you have a tremendous resource at home with your husband, so be sure to pick his brain and get his advice, too.

Good luck with your training!!!!

I lift my head to sight, thinking I must be pretty close to the first buoy already. My heart sank, I looked back and saw that I had only gone approximately 50 yards. This as going to be tough.

Does it matter how fast you go? Does it matter if you win? No. It only matters that you tri your best and smile when you cross the finish line.
