 3 |  Subject: Tips on beginning my first sprint triathlon?The triathlon seems like the ultimate race, which is why I want to begin triathloning. However, I have had some trouble deciding on a training program. Running and biking are my strengths, but I am a little weak on the swimming portion. I want to begin training for a sprint triathlon nearby in Burlington, NC towards the end of July. Any tips/ help would be appreciated. I also don't want to pay to get a training schedule made. Thanks in advance. Edited by rockhopper1080 2004-01-24 10:39 AM |
