Time to Commit

Great step in your journey! Keep it up.

Still Tri'n,
Michael

Good job! I have always found that a committment like that makes training and nutrition easier. It's one thing to train just to be fit and another for a specific goal!

You are an inspiration! I have been considering signing up for a run myself. Now I will Look more seriously for one in my area over this holiday season. I had one in mind for New Year's Day but they have changed the time to later in the day and I have a commitment then. I will make a more serious search for something else. Running is definitely my weakest link -- I will be lucky to do an 11 minute mile!!!

Thanks for the motivation...

HI all, This should be an RR but I did not compete in the 5k because of illness. My wife and sister in law have been sick all week and I started to comed down with it on Christmas Day. I have not done any training since then either and today is supposed to be a beautiful day here. Close to 50 and sunny. I would have loved to dust off the bike and put my new cat eye computer on it and ride a little but I can barely breathe. I will locate another race. Hope all is well.

sorry to hear about the flu. don't give up, we look forward to hearing about future races. rest up and then dust that bike off.

Sorry to hear that you have been sick! Hang in there and remember that it's not about the races that we do, it is about what we learn about ourselves everytime we take those small steps.

Still Tri'n,
Michael

relax and get better for the new year.

My plan to participate in a 5K over this holiday season has had to be abandoned for a variety of reasons -- mostly because of inconvenience of date scheduled, and family obligations. So I too will be looking for another later in January or February. I have at least been able to do a little training (even if not enough) and intend to increase that once these holidays are behind me.

This brings me to a question for the group. This may be available on the site somewhere, but I am interested in a training plan for a sprint triathlon I intend to do on the 1st of June. When whould I start *serious* training, and just what is that? I would like something pretty simple, and adaptable to my schedule -- like being able to do any of the three sports on any day rather than each on a certain day. Commitments carve the days I can do certain of the sports.

Any help will be well---- helpful.

Thanks, Nancytris

Nancytris, Here's a link to the 13 week sprint program on beginnertriathlete.com:

I'd just work on base and such till you get 13 weeks out. Good luck
