Subject: Need Help

First off, I feel that I should let you know that I am an out of shape 30 year old who is tired of being out of shape. I have always admired triathletes and it is a goal of mine to complete one next year. I know that I need to take the time to work up to that level. There is a triathlon here in Austin next month and I would like to be ready to go for the same one next year. Thank you for any help and tips that you can give me. James Love

james, u r just in time. assuming u have not exercised at ALL in the past year, a running program is your first order of business. at www.beginnertriathlete.com, go to 'getting started', then 'starting from scratch'. there is a simple 3 or 6 month running program to get u going. During or after that, swimming is next. Very important as swimming takes a little longer (for me) to build up in. Biking can come later on in the year. It's relatively easy to build up quick in biking once you have a good base in the run and swim. let me know what distance you plan to do. like u, i plan on getting back into it and doing some more tri's next year. (i have had some injuries). check out 'training logs' and 'ron', their u will find my daily log. i am just running again. 5min run, 5min walk, 5min run. if u want, i can set u up with yor own training log. email me on your training and what u plan to do and i will be happy to help guide u through. ron
