Smile Triathlon next year? - June 21st 2011, 07:44 PM

So, my dad has always been a big runner and then a few years ago he did a triathlon. He wants me to do one with him next year, just a local one not really a huge deal.

Does anyone have tips on starting to get ready for it? I'm not sure of the exact distances. I think the swim is half a mile, the bike is...10 miles maybe, and then the run is a 5k.

I run a little bit right now, but not on a schedule or anything like that. Is there anyone who runs or anything that could help me out?

Thanks. <3 (:

I would switch it up when training. I love to swim, so if you need any specific advice on that, PM me.
Find out what surface you are biking on (dirt, gravel, pavement) and practice on that and remember to wear a helmet! If you have to go to a gym or school to swim, you could also bike or jog there to get in extra practice.
Maybe you could also find a buddy to workout with. It helps you push yourself and bond.
Good luck!

Thank you (:

My Dad wants to put me on a work out plan when it's closer to the actual event, but he's been asking me lately to go to the gym with him and they have the bike machines and stuff there. I can swim laps at the same place (it's all just one big rec center) so I guess I'll just see what he says when it's closer!

Thanks again (:

You should take him on his offer! Working out with your father sounds like a good way to get yourself motivated to compete in the triathlon!

How much are you running now?

I will, for sure (:

Right now I'm running randomly but I can usually go two or three miles.. I have all these ankle problems so sometimes it depends on how stable it is that day
