Subject: Any help for a beginner please? :) hi, so im kind of new to this forum, as well as the sport of triathlon. Let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Jake, im 14 years old and a high schools student. I am an avid cyclist and i absolutely love the sport. But, i want to get more into it. I want to begin training for the wildflower triathlon. I have not yet decided which one i want to do, my goal is the long course because i feel like i have plenty of time to train for it (its on May 14, 2013). I know that its not easy, and i know that it requires alot of dedication and hard work. But, i know i have it. But the problem is, that im not really in the best shape. I used to be 5'7 and 223, now im 5'8 and 200. I'm losing weight because of cycling, but i want to lose weight while training. So long story short, i was wondering if you guys here had any advice for me. Maybe on training, staying motivated, where to start...because, i am actually rather clueless on where to start. any help would be great! thanks.... |
