I'm new here and I'll explain why I decided to try this silly sport.
1. My wife did a few of them
2. I watched a couple of shows called "fitness fantasy" on the FIT channel.

If anyone hasn't seen them you should try and get hold of a copy or see if they are on again.

One show followed a guy that wanted to complete the LA triathlon, he was overweight, couldn't swim or bike and yet he finished it.
The other was a woman that couldn't swim and wanted to do the big bear triathlon. Again she made it.

I found both shows very inspiring and motivational, and thought if they could do it then I could. Give them a tri.

BTW the channel is available on Direct TV.

I was hoping to do the Mission Bay one. I just needed to get swimming started first, I feel a bit more confident now though.

I suppose I better get back out on the feet and the bike.

Where and what time is your mock Mission Bay?

I have those shows Tivo'd and watch it occasionally for inspiration. I can run it off to video if we get together to train anytime.

I too was inspired by the TV...MTV that is. They have a show "I've Been Made", where they take high school students and make them into what they want to be. This student was overweight and wanted to be a triathlete. Seeing him, and his athletic ability before he started, truely motivated me! I've completed Tri #1, and I liked it so much #2 is at the end of September.

Good Luck!!
