 1 |  Subject: helloGreetings! I see that my training partner Jaitermom has joined the conversation, so I will too. I'm almost 46 years old and have recently started "kicking up" my training. It was in the summer that my partner and I decided to do a tri. I swim fairly well, run decently and can pedal with the most fair of them. I'll never be a speed demon at any of this. I'd just like to participate and finish with pride. I know several "elite" triathletes and their intensity can be daunting at times. Can this be done while still having fun? Training schedules are still a mystery. Any advise would be welcome. Thanks. |

 , Alabama | Subject: RE: hello The fun is definitely within you. Speed has nothing to do with enjoyment. Don't compare yourself or your training/racing wtih anyone else or that fun may leave you. I have a great time with this and I would put myself as a middle-of-the-pack kind of person. I know people slower than me and faster than me that love it, and others that I don't know why they do it! it's all about you. Sharon |

Except the night before every tri--when I feel nauseous and nervous and wonder what the hell I'm doing... but I always get over it!! Training schedules abound. Some on this site very site. Take a look and tailor to your needs! Dana |
