Yesterday March, 30 my 30th birthday I took the plunge and signed up for my first triatahlon. It is a sprint tri with a .8k swim, 15 mile bike ride, and 5 k run. The race is july 18 so I have plenty of time to get ready. My plan is to swim 3 days a week, run 2 days a week, go to Australian rules football practice 2 days a week, and ride my bike a little in between every thing else. If anyone has any tips for me please share them.

Thanks,

Jackhammer

I'm not involved yet but I am getting closer. I signed up for a sprint tri in july and I started this group. I strained my knee in my first of 2 australian rules football games this weekend so I will try to spend more time in the pool in the next couple of weeks. My semester ends this week so I should also be able to put a lot more time in on the bike. If you google sprint triathalons and go to the first couple of hits you should be able to find one close to you and a distance that you might be ready for.
