Subject: Wanting to try a Tri...
Hey there community. I'm a pretty avid exerciser and have been both biking and running a pretty good bit over the past few years in spurts. I completed a half marathon a few years ago and did the 100KM at the Hotter than Hell last year. I was a swimmer in high school though I've been away from that for a couple decades now. I'm starting to swim again at the local gym and I'm really wanting to do a Tri this summer.

Any groups to get hooked up with in the Fort Worth, Tx or more specifically NE Tarrant Co area? I saw that the Cowtown Tri is coming up in May and thinking about trying the Sprint distance if I can work back up to covering the swim distance. Thanks in advance for any feedback or pointers in the direction of a Tri group in this area.

Scott

Hi Scott, welcome to BT and triathlon.

Not sure about TX groups--we have a TX forum here but not sure how active it is. However, you can look up USAT affiliated clubs in your area (USA Triathlon) as well as Ironman affiliated clubs (they'll be general tri clubs but which have members who do long-course tri as well).

Good luck!

My right knee has a pain in the front, just below the kneecap. I walked 24 miles of IM Louisville. No pain while walking but it started immediately when trying to run.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.

What to wear under the wetsuit? What to wear for the bike and the run? Good thing someone invented the wonderful trisuit, to which we’ve become accustomed. It’s supposed to make our lives so simple.

Enter the new TYR X-Sight goggles. The X-Sights have been designed with a flexible nose bridge that (surprise, surprise) is shaped like an “X”.
