10 Tips for First Time Triathletes
After reading Marc Hemeon's blog about a Clydesdale Triathlete , it got me to thinking "I really should do this". My challenge is that I'm not really into swimming. I can swim just fine, its just that I get bored with swimming and thus lose my motivation.
I'm thinking I should start with a sprint triathlon (LOL!!! Me and sprinting...the thought is hilarious) the shorter distances 400-800 meter swim, 12-15 mile bike, 5k run, I could squeeze that out and maybe motivate me for something bigger.
So, fo rthe rest of you thinking like me, I came across some tips for newbie triathletes. Check out the details on active.com.
1. Go short before going long
2. Stay close to home
3. Just a swim suit and goggles for the swim
4. Your bike is fine
5. You need running shoes
6. It doesn't take as much training as you might think.
7. Plan to rest
8. Transition time counts too
9. Plan to do the first half of the race slower
10. One piece of "trick" equipment: Elastic shoe laces
