Subject: Tri'ing triathlons!
Hey all!

Just signed up here (obviously) after getting very little help on a cycling forum and discovering this one!

I am relatively new to triathlons. I have now done 2 sprints, one longer sprint (750/26/8) and an Olympic. I wasn't fast by any means, especially the Oly, but I had so much fun (and pain), and enjoyed the hard work of training from no fitness to these immensely! I am hooked! It is now the end of the seasons in Australia (or so I think...), so it is time to do some research and work out some proper training for the end of this year! I have bought 'the Triathlete's training bible' and am reading through it, I am in the process of setting my goals!

I am very keen to improve my sprint and Olympic times (1hr25m, and 2hr50m respectively), and am also eyeing off a 70.3 as a real challenge! Can it be done? I have at least 6 months, probably 7, until even the sprints begin again. As I said, I have come from doing absolutely nothing, but am young (23) and can probably squeeze 10 or so hours a week around work and other commitments! As I have read, I should be working on my endurance more than speed, I was hoping I could try and work the two together to see if I can do the 70.3!

Anyway, enough waffle! Thanks for having me along!

I'm new as well so don't have any tips other than keep a strong mind and that 70.3 is in reach! Good luck my friend!
