Signed up for my first Olympic triathlon



Recommended Posts

I signed up for my first Olympic Triathlon; the Kemah Triathlon on April of 2015. I've been wanting to do one for a long time but never had the guts to sign up for one. I'm super excited and VERY nervous especially for the open Water swim which I've already started training for. I'm also going to talk about my training on my blog: www.julissaschultz.com.

If any of ya'll out there have completed an OLY tri please message me. I would like to know what your nutrition was like during the race and would also like to hear about your experience.

Thanks!

Just started reading your blog. Amazing! I got VSG surgery done in September 2014, and am down 69 lbs already. I'm gonna take on a tri in 2015...I'll be looking to your blog to guide me for sure. Keep it up! From "shit to fit"!!!

Amazing. I've wanted to start doing tri's, and my weight is holding me back, I can't wait until I have the sleeve.

I'm 10 months out of surgery and have started getting active again. I have run in 3, 5k races and have completed a couple of 35-40 mile rides. I have committed to a local sprint length triathlon. Currently, I am focusing on my swimming and will be working on my brick training soon. Good luck, I know how I'm also a little nervous about the whole thing. I've told myself that I am participating not competing. I'm doing it for me as my 55th birthday. Hope you do well.

Have done a sprint tri and was signed up for a March oly but had to drop down to the sprint bc I had wrist surgery and will only be out of my cast/brace for 3 weeks and they aren't even sure j should be doing that--physical therapist will give me the go ahead (or not) in early March.

Good luck to everyone on their Tri!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
