Hey all, just going to introduce my self I’m a sophomore at Norwich University. I am a PE major but I’m planning on becoming a Marine. I have always been interested in doing a triathlon and 2 days ago my rook buddy mentioned one near my house in NY, and we decided to do it with a simple “ ok, why not” and now we are trying to figure out what we need to do to get ready because we are lost in the sauce. Any advice is greatly welcomed.

The Marines just keep on coming   Just kidding.  You are just the second marine (or wanna be) in the newbie posts tonight!

Anyway, good way to get started is to grab one of the training plans (couch to sprint comes to mind) and follow along.  Read forums, articles, etc. on this site.  Talk to people.  Search the archives.  Ask questions.  We are a friendly bunch!

When all else fails...swim, bike, and run...if you do those three, you'll be fine   Be sure to log your training so we can all follow along on the ride!

Welcome to BT!

jldicarlo said it. Look at the training plans on this site and pick what would best suit you. If you are already active, then maybe jump in somewhere in the middle of one of the training schedules. Look at the articles published and ask anything you cannot find an answer to, you'll find many people eager to help.
Good luck and welcome to BT!
