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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
