Hello all! This is my first time on the site and so far it looks great. After enjoying different sports for 23 years, I have spent the last 10 working and on the couching it. At the age of 38 20 pounds overweight and my wife and I expecting our first child. I figured if I better get motivated. Years ago I road a bike a lot and in junior and high school I was a pretty good cross-country runner. My goals are now set on my family and completing my first sprint triathlon.

I am looking for any help!!! I have been running and biking and some swimming for a month now. I am up to 2 miles on the run and have averaged 10 miles on the bike. The swim is killing me! I guess all in time.

If anyone has any suggestions for a beginner let me know. On October 3, 2004 is race day and it is coming quick. (So is the baby, due date is 9/10/04, yikes!)


Thanks!
FredBird

Welcome....and congrats on the baby on the way!  The swim will get better in time!  When I started training in Feb., I could only swim 25 yds at a time, and now, I'm up to 750!  It will get better.  Consider a class, a master's group, or the book Total Immersion.  Good luck!
