Subject: Tri Newbie! Hi everyone! I've officially decided to dive headfirst into this and i'm loving it!
I want to get healthier. I want to lose some weight. I want endurance. I want to just be in better shape overall. I'm motivated but without a real goal I tend to lose focus on something to train for. The Tri really appeals to me as a way to do this!
I'm really aiming to be able to do an Oly next summer with the occasional sprint for good measure. If I really focus - I can do it! The ultimate goal is a 70.3 in 2017. I have an indoor tri scheduled for January to get my feet wet and i'll go from there. I'm already seeing improvement without a real training plan, just trying to swim 2x a week, bike 2x, and run 2x at a minimum. I've gone from being able to do 3 miles on the bike trainer to doing about 17. Next week I start a sprint training program before jumping to the old training and i'm excited to see what progress that will make.
So far I'm thrilled to be a part of such a welcoming, encouraging community! |
