Subject: Transitioning to Tri's!!

Hi all.  I am a 44 yo female from Memphis, TN.  I started running about 2 years ago after gastric bypass surgery.  I have lost 170 lbs and have been running 1/2 marathons and loving it.  Well, my knee doesn't love it.  Years of being super morbidly obese have taken it's toll on the right knee and I need to change things up.  I have been spinning and swimming for cross training and found that I love it. So this year I am going to start training for triathalons.   I have already found so much information on this site, you guys are awesome!!!  I look forward to learning from all of you!!

 

Kat

Welcome Kat! That's an very impressive life style change, congratulations!!!

If you love cycling and swimming, but need to reduce the running miles, you can always look for aquathons (cycling and swimming) in addition to the triathlons you plan to do.
