Hi All,

I wanted to reach out to everyone and say hi. I have been reading the forums for about a month and finished my first training day from the Couch-to-Sprint training plan today. I am registered for my first sprint tri on the weekend of April 23rd.

A little bit more about me. I have absolutely no endurance sport background. My athletic background consists of a football lineman 10+ years ago. All of my training has been anaerobic workouts and Olympic-style weightlifting. I am now 35, weigh 228lbs, have a family and have spent little time in the gym recently. I am excited for this new challenge and look forward to seeing results both in how my body reacts to the new training and to my official times in April.

As triathlon gains in popularity, there will be more athletes like me: never participated in competitive sports, minimal race experience, and only recently taken up endurance sports.

I am still pretty weak in the water and have a pair of Zoomers that I use for drills. What do you think of wearing fins to swim in the pool until I build up endurance?
