Doing my first triathlon on Feb 1st. 400 meter swim (in the YMCA 50 meter outdoor pool), 13 mile bike ride, and 3 mile run.
Been training for about six months. Swimming one day per week; biking and running for 30-60 min/day on alternate days. I was a competitive swimmer growing up so that part is easy for me. The run is my toughest part for me - I don't exactly have the prototypical runner's physique (short and stocky). Will be happy with to just stick to my plodding 10 min/mile pace.
My goal is to finish, not race anybody or worry about my time. (at least I should place in the Over 50/St Jude division!)
Depending on how it goes, I am looking at the next race in April. That one includes an open water swim in the Gulf of Mexico - much more difficult than the pool...
