Subject: First Tri!
I just signed up for my first sprint triathlon in June! I am doing a 12 week training program and after the 12 weeks I will focus on getting faster and going longer distances! Right now I'm training indoors and when it gets warmer here in Wisconsin I will start running and biking outside as much as possible! Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

Congrats! We're happy to have you here at BT.
Check out our training articles under Articles > Training and you should find a lot of great stuff. We recently improved our article search (use the site search box) to make it easier. There's a good article I wrote about buying a used bike, and a series of things first-timers need to have, vs things people will try to sell them even though they don't need them. :-)

I have always wanted to do a triathlon to keep myself fit, and now I had my chance.

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

After I left the running store, I couldn't stop thinking about the sprint tri and how much of a challenge it would be for me. So instead of joining a gym, I started riding my bike and it felt great.

I never imagined that 350 yards broken down into 7 REALLY long lanes would be so big! I gasped out loud and told Grady that maybe I had underestimated the swim.

In the past 18 months, I have delivered two babies, had meningitis, broken my pelvis, had two surgeries, worked full time, AND completed my first triathlon!

This life of mine is not so different from yours. It has a multitude of similarities. I suffer from uncertainty, I get nervous at the thought of registering and when getting to the starting line.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
