Subject: Newbie here! Hello all! My names Curtis, I'm 22 from Miami, Florida and looking to participate in the 2016 ironman in October. This will be my first triathlon. I have no previous experience in triathlons, marathons, etc. But I am fit, my biggest downfall is my running. I'm fast but only for short distances, i.e. 2-3 miles. I have no experience running further than 4 miles. I ride road bike frequently anywhere from 20-60 miles at a time. Usually 1-3 times a week. Current pace being anywhere from 14-19. My swimming is also pretty strong, most of it being with the combat side stroke. I swim a 500 in around 9:30. Just looking for any information I might not already know. Can't wait! I'm working hard on the run so I can finish strong! Just hoping to get it done!! Not going into this thinking I'm going place even decent, just want to race amongst the best. Thanks! -curtis |
