Subject: New member from Ottawa
Hi everyone!

I'm a one-time lurker; now a member I'm predominantly a runner but my lack of cross-training resulted in injuries so I thought triathlon would be a good way to force me to still train for a race and also cross-train. I've officially signed up for the IM 70.3 Syracuse next June, so if anyone else is going or has any tips for a first time IM 70.3 athlete, let me know! I could use all the help I can get.

Cheers,
Anne

First tip... no headphones in races.

Second tip... Get your limit on your visa raised.

I've also signed up for my first 70.3 race next June in Lubbock, Texas. If you've never done a shorter distance tri (sprint/olympic) and don't have much background outside of running I'd start slow with biking and swimming. Work up a base and then go from there. Use the training plans on this website. I'm starting week 3 of a couch to sprint plan right now, then I have back to back "bridge" programs from sprint to olympic and then olympic to 70.3 that end on my race weekend (June 29, 2014).

I don't really strength train (because I never have and don't really know much about it) and feel like my lack of upper body strength is the reason why I'm not getting faster.

My right foot is killing me (flat feet, wearing orthotics). I can no longer run on it and am forced to walk. After walking 10k, my foot felt like it was squeezed really hard.

I am 28 now, hardly an old crony, but life in busy Sydney Australia has meant my belly is softer than the excuses I use to convince myself I am in good shape.
