Triathlons!
I know we have a handful of (competitive) runners on TFP, but I don't think I've ever seen someone mention triathlons in my 2+ years here.
I am planning on competing in my first (sprint) triathlon in mid-April. I have a lovely road bike and I'm very comfortable with the cycling.. but I'm getting a bit nervous about managing the swimming and the running. I'm not exactly well-trained in either.
So, this thread is intended to be for the sharing of triathlon knowledge and experience. Questions, race reports, training plans.. etc. I'll probably be updating this thread as I have questions/meet training milestones/compete in my first races. I'm hoping to get up to Olympic distance by late June, but we'll see how things go! The thought of swimming almost a mile is really, really, REALLY intimidating right now.
