Subject: First Sprint Next Weekend
Hey Everyone! I am signed up to do my first triathalon next weekend, which is the Peach Classic Sprint, in Penticton.

Starting to freak out a bit that I haven't trained enough, and not sure if its just jitters or something to be worried about

I got active again last fall, after having been not so active since high school (now 27). Started training for the running and swimming in January, and the biking in May. My biggest fears at this point are biking hills, and the bike maintenance!!!!! Although I have been taught how to change a flat, I honestly don't know if I could do it during a race!

Hoping for the best, at this point I just want to finish!

First welcome to the addiction. Second, don't worry about the race. You will be fine.

If you have given your bike a good once over you should not have any issues. Can you, or course, but the race is short so just go out there and have fun. It may not be as fast as you would like but the first one is just to finish, get a little race experience and have a blast.

Let us know how it goes.

Tyler,

You will do great! Plenty of videos for you to learn how to change a flat. You can always sub a training session for a tire/tube changing session.
