Subject: Just starting out in Austin TX
I'm a senior at The University of Texas. I've been running and weight training for 4 years now. Got up to running about 15miles a week and decided to try a triathlon, because my knees don't like that much running. I have a reconstructed ACL. I'm doing this because I love cycling, running and swimming is growing on me. I'm training for a sprint right now. I'm also taking a class on swimming form and fitness. Any advice is welcome.

Welcome to BT maikell.  All you need is the desire, which you apparently have.  Soon you'll be calling yourself a Triathlete.

Keep up the training and keep us posted on your first race.

Welcome to BT! Sounds like you'll do great. There are a bunch of good Texas folks here. Check out the Texas forum if you're looking for folks to train with or want to meet other BTers at races.

Otherwise, you've come to the right place for inspiration and advice. The whole site is full of that. Happy tri'ing!

Welcome! I'm in Austin myself. Get yourself ready for the Rookie Triathlon in New Braunfels next May. It's a 300m swim, 11 mile bike, and 2 mile run. It's perfect for a first timer.
