New user 1 |  Subject: EEEEKKKK!!!!!!Hi everyone, well I want to start triathlons, so this seemed a good enough site to register on. I recently went to Sherborne, UK, to watch my friend compete in the Half Ironman, and thought to myself that this would be an ideal goal to set myself. A half ironman in a year, well we'll have to see. Got to lose some weight first ( about 30lbs) but with a decent diet and effective training I should be able to at least try for it! If you have any tips for a 41 year old british fool, I'd be grateful! Noz PS my favourite quote "pain is temporary, to quit is forever" by Lance Armstrong is on my bike and on the peak of my helmet!   |

Expert 803   MD | Subject: RE: EEEEKKKK!!!!!! Go for it - half ironman is a nice goal to set. However, I'd recommend you compete in a few shorter distance races - sprint triathlons, 5 and 10K runs, etc, perhaps even an Olympic distance triathlon - along the way. These will provide you with lots of shorter-term goals and you will learn a tremendous amount about training and racing that will help you approach a half IM with confidence. Check out the training plans on this site, look up the race schedule in your house, and set up a concrete plan as to how you will achieve your ultimate goal. Look forward to following your progress! |
