Triathlons!

My BF has been doing triathlons for about two years and is training for an Ironman this summer. This weekend was my first time watching one. He competed in a tri (an Olympic Tri at Quassy Rev3) and let me tell you, I definitely got the bug!

Who has done tris? I'm thinking of taking swim classes after NYC Marathon and joining a tri team to do some races next summer. I was so inspired!

Just figured I'd show my Triathlete FB off too

Triathlons!

great picture!

i must admit that i'm starting to toy with the idea... this is a very big deal for me.

a friend of mine just posted pictures, on FB, of her very first tri. it was a "sprint" tri (short distances)... and it made me feel (for the very first time) that i just might be able to handle it.

lol i first need to learn how to swim. that's my big joke as to why i can't/won't do them. i quote FEZZIK from princess bride and say "i only doggie paddle"

who knows, i might attempt one for my 41 or 42 birthday lol

if i can handle a marathon before 41, i just might push it and give it a shot.

i say GO FOR IT!!

Triathlons!

I have done 2... they are SO MUCH FUN! I did my first for my 30th bday- took swim lessons @ the Aquatic Center at Eisenhower Park during the winter, then practiced a whole lot, then did the tri in August.
I'm not fast, but I finish :)
Go for it! You won't regret it!

Re: Triathlons!

I trained for one back in 2009 but it was cancelled due to a hurricane. I'm in the midst of training for one now in a couple of weeks and am VERY excited! Its alot but if you can do all the events individually, putting them together is just a matter of training!
