[quote=Anonymous]I did my first tri (sprint distance) last July. Great experience. I could have probably done an Olympic distance without a problem, but I have two little kids and felt like I was asking too much of my husband to put in more training time. Maybe this summer... Check out beginnertriathlete.com. You can find all kinds of training plans there for free, print them out, or use their online tools to track your progress. There are articles and forums too with great info. I think I started in the beginning of March for a race in early July. At the point I started, I was running about 3-4 miles pretty regularly. I aimed for 3-4 runs a week (my weak spot), 2 bike workouts, and 1-2 swim workouts, with the workouts getting longer the closer I got to my race. Where are you located? The Rockville swim center has a few different triathlon-focused swim classes which I gained a lot from and which kept me motivated. Good luck! [/quote]
