Subject: Now what?
I have completed 2 triathlons in the past month and now am trying to plan for the future. There are no triathlons after May in my area that I can compete in and I am trying to decide how to stay motivated to keep training. Since I am a true "newbie" should I concentrate on building up my foundation/base for next year? Any thoughts?

P.S. The 2 tri's I did were a pool swim and an ocean swim.Totally different but very cool.

I have no advice but just wanted to say hello fellow S.C.'er.

There is a sprint Tri in Hilton Head in September...I don't know where you live in SC, but you could make a weekend out of it if you had the money to go do that...OR you could join Teams in Training like I did! What area of the state (low country, upstate, midlands) are you located?

When is the tri in Hilton Head? I'll be there 9/11-9/18 and would love to do a race there! Minus the gators.

It's actually on Sept 11! It's the Tri I'm training for. Wouldn't it be cool to meet a B.T. person in person? Ha.

I suppose I should have answered the original question! Sorry! ;-)

Consider traveling for another race - make it a vacation. Or, work on each discipline separately. How about a 5K or 10K run? Maybe a half marathon? Or join a bike club and do various workouts with other people - maybe build up to a century or do the MS 150. Join a master's swim group and hone your skills. Just my thoughts!

I'm in Columbia. In fact I just did the Hilton Head tri this past weekend. It was fun. My husband was on the Team in Training for that event so I just trained with him.

Ha! Well, I did wonder if that was the one you just did. I'm doing it for TNT too.

I'm sure you'll find something great to pursue...there has to be something out there in this state before next year! Maybe do an online search? Happy training!
