Hello there, 57 year old , overweight couch potato who decided to take up running after 10 years of inactivity. Loved it and thought "I would like to try triathlon" so here I am first duathlon ( a tiny one for newbies) booked in 5 weeks time and looking for sprint in March. No longer feel like I am drowning after 200m and thinking how to increase pace on bike and running.
Motivated by the time I can put into training and the goals the sport gives me. Aim for first triathlon is to finish with a smile on my face ??

Good for you! Yes, aiming to cross the finish line with a smile is a perfect goal. My first tri was a 200m swim, 5k bike and 3k run and let me tell you I felt like I had won an Olympic medal when I crossed the finish line! Best feeling ever!

Just Remember That It Is ALL About Building A Base. Start Slow & Relaxed While Training This Winter AND THEN Start Focusing On Races, Adding Milage, etc

Cheers
