Subject: In Need Of a Mentor!

Hi there!

I am 19 years young from MA. I have never done a tri, but I trained for one last summer, I trained with a friend and she became injured therefore the plan fell through. I am looking to get back into it! I am a total newb. I couldn't tell you a thing about bikes, shoes, or training. I can run 3+ miles without fault, bike consistantly, and will begin swimming soon. I just need an all over TRI CRASHCOURSE. !

 

Anyone willing to help?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to BT and triathlon!

If you click the link at the top of this forum (Intro Yourself) you will find out about BT's Mentor program and it is EXACTLY for someone like you. There are several groups still open with really wonderful mentors--and you get a whole mentor group to boot, which is very motivational as well as informative.

Also, there are excellent training plans to get you started if you click the Programs icon top left.

Finally, right under that is a word BEGINNERS, that's a great place to start, actually. The first article in that section, which is expressly for beginners, is a MUST-READ and will give you pretty much everything you need to know to get started.

Good luck and if you have any more questions, ask away! (You may get more responses if you post them in the main forum Triathlon Talk though).
