Subject: RE: Your 1st HIM?

Did my 1st HIM toward the end of my first season.  But, my 2nd tri was in the neighborhood of HIM distance.

1st tri:  June 2001, 1K/30K/8K

2nd:  June 2001, 1.5mi/45mi/10mi

3rd:  Aug 2001, 1K/30K/10K

4th:  Sept 2001, HIM

The year prior to that I'd started running, culminating in my 1st marathon on Oct 2000.

2008:
May-July - learned to swim
June - first sprint
July - Oly
August - sprint

2009:
April - first HIM
July - HIM
July - Oly
Sept - first IM

I come from a distance running background and had been casually biking for a few years, but nothing competitive. I'm still learning a lot but felt I was ready for longer distance right away.

My first tri was the New Orleans HIM.

I had run a couple of Half Marathons prior to that.

I think if you are going to do it, it might as well be noteworthy.

BTW I was a "Super" clydesdale. When I ran the race I was 268. I did it in 8 hours and 4 minutes.
I didn't get enough electrolytes and cramped all through the run. I am now down about 30 pounds and look forward to a faster time next year.

Tri's have generally been second thoughts as I had been more into running...

yr 1: 1 Short sprint
yr 2: 1 slightly longer sprint
yr 3: 2 sprints; first oly
yr 4: 1st HIM; 1 sprint; 1 oly
yr 5: 1 HIM; 1 oly
yr 6: 1 oly; 1 HIM
yr 7: 1 HIM, 1 full IM
yr 8: who knows???? I don't.

From the couch I did:

1st year: Sprint, half mary, Oly, HIM (end of the season)
2nd year: full mary, HIM, IM.
 
You should be fine if you follow a decent plan and get enough calories.  For the HIM distance you actually have to care about calorie intake.
