End of winter...triathlons await...yes, you can!



Recommended Posts

So, my fellow lap-banders who have thought about or do triathlons - what are your goals?

My A race is the FL HIM in May. I'll be 20 months from band to 70.3 miles, and I cannot wait. I may not be fast, but I won't quit!! :thumbup:

For those of you wondering if you can...stop wondering and start moving...it can be done!! Small steps first though. Walk a mile, jog a mile, run a mile, then it is all just numbers. :thumbup:

I'm signed up for the following races:

5K - March 15th - it's a tune up for my first tri

ICE Breaker Tri - April 19th - it's a Sprint but the run is 4 miles. Yikes

Mermaid Tri - early June - it's pretty sure even for a Sprint but it's in my town and sounds like fun. I'm treating it as a B race

Tri for Fun #3 - Aug. 8th - regular sprint in the next town over. Lots of people in my club do this one.

I may do a 10k in Sept or Oct as well as prep for next season. It depends on how my season goes.

Well, I am going to give it a try this summer. I am going to do my first sprint in July! I am excited, but also very nervous!

My goal - to finish!

      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.
