Hi,
I am a complete beginner in the triathlon scene. 43 years old mama, but enjoy the challange.
Started running in May 2003, cycling and swimming more or less recently.
Done the Abu Dhabi Half Marathon 2003 and Dubai 10km 2003 and also the Dubai Marathon 2004. Survived.... no comments.
I also finished a Desert Half Marathon...don't even think it was fun! and a Baby-Sandy Triathlon in Oman.
Now I got myself a new road bike and HAVE to use it.
Running and cycling is ok, the swimming is my killer.

I would like to take part in the Dubai Triathlon on the 7th October 2004, but still try to find a training program for me.

See you on the road

Brigitte

Good to have you here Brigitte! It's my running that is the killer for me, so I'm impressed with all your running races! Good luck with your training!

well, u have the running down good enough huh?  what distance is the dubai tri?  a few sprint and oly and one 1/2im on the main site...u could probably old your running and start with the bike/swim of an appropriate program and play 'catch-up' to your run.

good luck...those races u have done sounds killer.

Hi Ron,
Dubai has four races.
The first one is 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run.
The second is 1000m swim, 28km bike and 10km run.
Third: 1500m swim, 40km bike and 16km run
Forth: 1900m swim, 90km bike and 21km run

So it is a serie and I will see what I can do. But it will mean more or less 9months continuously in training...and I thought I have a life!

We are going to organize our third Double Desert Marathon in October/November in Oman.
I will post it as soon as I have the dates.
It means one marathon on the first day and straight on the next day the second one....and it is up and down the sanddunes, not straight and flat...AND HOT.
Bit extreme, but a real challange.
