Hello everyone! I am just an old guy (42) training for my first my triathlon. I have had problems getting and staying in shape, so I figured I would try something competetive. Nothing much more competetive than this! I started training in July and hope to compete in the Donner Tri in Lake Tahoe...

Just wanted to say hi. i competed in my first sprint tri over the weekend and this looks like a good place to get training pointers to improve my time. Maybe moral support also!!
I have no idea what made me start researching Triathlon, but now I"m hooked. I can't stop thinking about it. I've never done Triathlon before and I only have some experience in running. I was in the military, so nothing long distance. I've never biked other than goofing around on a BMX bike...

Hello
I am a distance runner that can also run a 50 second 1/4 mile. Thought trying a Tri would be the best way to cross train for fitness and get some time in the pool and on a bike and give my legs a bit of a break once in awhile.

I'm pretty new to weight training. I have only been doing it about a month. Here is my main question. I have heard that I should do chest/shoulders/tri's in one day. But when I get done doing chest I am so tired that shoulders are hard to do, let alone tri's. Is it still best to do all these in...
