Hello from London Ontario
I am just starting my tri training for my sprint tri in Orillia on August 18th.
Need a lot of work on swimming. Running and biking is okay. Have done them for years now.
Nervous but looking forward to the journey ahead

Welcome aboard!

I've spent quite a bit of time working on my swimming. There's a lot of good videos of YouTube and some junk, so I compiled the ones that were the most helpful to me.

Welcome, I struggle with swimming too.  If you can, spend a lot of time in the water 4x per week.  Get a coach or friend to watch and critique and help and get in some open water swims.  They are much diferent than pool swims. My races start on the bike...lol  Good Luck and keep us posted!

Welcome. Also stop by the Ontario forum - there are quite a few folks out that way (I grew up around those parts) who might be able to help you out quite a bit if you have questions ...

Welcome to BT Kathy!

Have you hooked up with any of the London area triathletes?  there are quite a few people in the area that tri, and quite a few groups of people you can join for training sessions - I'm specifically thinking swimming. I am in Woodstock, but the last few years have done bike training with London folkes (Not this year as I'm preggo - I work in London).  If you want some contact info for area triathletes and training groups let me know.
