Subject: Triathlon by 40!
Hi
I'm Yvonne and I've never attempted a triathlon. I've always been a bit of a runner but the only bike I've ever been able to ride has been a BMX and I drown rather than swim! I've been fascinated by triathlons for years but never had the guts to try one. I promised to myself that I would complete a tri before my 40th birthday which is why I've now signed up for the Lake Chestermere Sprint in July (I turn 40 in August). If I complete the course I may treat myself to a beer or 12!

Good for you. Make a plan and stick to it. However be prepared for this to be only your first of many. This sport is very addictive. I do have three pieces of advice I like to give all newbies.

1. Have fun
2. When in doubt, refer to rule #1
3. Have fun.

You will find all the help and support you need here. A great bunch of people. I look forward to reading your race report before your birthday!
