June 27 and ok date for a first time?

I'm signed up for the Big Foot Triathlon in Wisconsin in June!
Whoaaa!
And yes, I got impatient with myself not just signing up to do it. So I did. hhaahah.

Thanks for the info on the website!

welcome to the club!
I'm doing my first tri. at Big Foot.
If you stick to a training plan you will be fine. Check out the training plans on the forums home page.

See you there!

You should be fine. It sounds like you have a good aerobic base already. I've read a couple of really good rookie books, Triathlon 101 and Triathon for Mortals. Both mention at least five to six weeks of a good aerobic base before tri training. Now just put it all together. I'm doing my first tri in June also and have been adding some easy brick training each week, especially from bike to run. I have to increase my running mileage, as its my weakest link. Also if its an open water swim, think about a wetsuit. And practice in open water! You can do it.....good luck! Barbara

Get on your bike really soon and you will do just fine! :-) Are you planning other races this season?

Ha! Yeah for Big Foot! see you there!

I was planning on signing up for the related tri at Lake Delavan WI on August 1, just haven't done that one yet.

I'm signed up for that one also since they are both basically in my back yard.
See you there!
