Ceradad 10 Posted March 10, 2008 Has anyone considered a mini triathlon? I was talking to a guy from church a couple of weeks ago about doing some 5k's. He mentioned maybe looking into a mini triathlon a couple of towns over. After looking it up online, I've found there are so many around here that I didn't know about. I'm actually kind of excited to try to start training for one and see if I could handle it. Anyone else consider doing one of these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rharriet62 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Wow! You got banded last year on my birthday! LOL. YES! I am totally considering a mini-tri. I am working on running and biking and this summer I am getting swimming lessons. I can swim but am not a strong swimmer. Last year I could not swim because I had shoulder surgery, but it's all good now! SO, it is very exciting!!! I would love to know more about your training schedule!

Ceradad 10 Posted March 11, 2008 Not sure of what I am going to do for a training schedule. I'm going to hit the gym this Thursday when I am off to so I can spend extra time there. I'm going to try out the swim, hit the bike and then test the treadmill. I'll see what I am capable of doing. Right now, I figure the swim will be the toughest as I have never swam for distance, just leisure. Should prove interesting.:tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OH Juli 15 Posted March 11, 2008 Simming is the best cross training activity because it helps you regulate your breathing for the other areas. Cool huh. I'm no triathlete...but I'm in awe of anyone who is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceradad 10 Posted March 11, 2008 I'm no triathlete Nor am I. I just want to give it a go and see if I can do it.:tongue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
