Member  16 North Chelmsford |  Subject: RE: tripletmom01 mentor group - CLOSEDIf it makes you feel any better, I dont have any race experience with Triathlons either. Ive dont tons of road races in my life, but my first tri will be in May. I would guess from what you have said, the couch to sprint would be a good plan for you (everyone feel free to correct me if Im wrong), since you haven't got a base of working out to start from. Personally, if I were you, I wouldnt worry about upgrading your bike until you determine how much you like the sport. If you find that you really like it and want to do more triathlons in the future, you can alway buy another bike down the road. I too, am new to BT. So far I can tell you that your in a good group for knowledge and advice. There are those of us who are brand new to the sport (but have backgrounds in other sports), those who have completed some triathlons, and then of course those who are really serious. Best of luck. |

Master 1671    West Bend, WI | Subject: RE: tripletmom01 mentor group - CLOSED Yep- I agree thats be a great program to follow! ANd I would not worry about what kind of bike you have for your first tri...just go out there and have fun. Most likely you will love it and then want to get a road bike (HA- its addictive!!!) Ask anything you like- I am pretty sure someone in this group will know the answer! |

New user 22 | Subject: RE: tripletmom01 mentor group - REOPEN! We're not training together yet. I think we will share the misery of getting up at 0530 to get to the Master's Swim that is local to us. We should be able to ride together on occasion, but as for the running, that's gonna be a no go. I will be able to give her some coaching, but we wont be able to run together. |

I have had one month of no running and am really getting bummed and SICK of my trainer!!! Ok, back at it, trying to get ramped up to get ready to start a 20 week plan on January 23rd. I also might decide in the next few days about registering for my HIM in June - price goes up 1/1. I'm probably going to have to modestly violating the 10% rule I think for a few weeks and hope if I'm careful I won't end up injured. The plan requires a 60 minute run in week 1 and I am now running 30 mins. I'm not planning on getting all the way at 60, but want to be closer than 10% gets me..... Welcome to all the new folks. -Matt |

Member 16 North Chelmsford | Subject: RE: tripletmom01 mentor group - CLOSED f18guy - 2009-12-28 10:48 AM So I swam for the first time today..... I wouldn't worry too much about it. Everybody starts somewhere. I'm sure that the cardiovascular conditioning that you have from running etc, will allow you to make strides quickly with your swimming. Besides, look on the positive side, day 1 of swim training is complete |

New user 71 Tempe | Subject: RE: tripletmom01 mentor group - CLOSED f18guy - 2009-12-28 9:48 AM Hello and welcome! I also am coming from doing primarily running. I started swimming about 5-6 weeks ago. I picked up the book "Triathlon Swimming Made Easy" This is also on the "Total Immersion" site. It's very simple and easy to follow.So I swam for the first time today..... |
