Money List Winner
Not from the weekend, although that was a masterclass!
Anyone here do / done them? I have been bitten by the running bug and competed in my first 10k last month, next one is in July, but with my old rugby knees and ankles, i dont think i could cope with the added distance of a half or full marathon.
So much so, 2 weeks ago i bought my first road bike (much to my wifes disgust, 'you already have a bike!' yes its a MTB) Anyway, literally got back from my first ride on it last week and went online and signed up to a tri.
My local one is only a sprint one, 400m Swim, 22k bike, 5k run. Perfect for me!!
So, what/how/when to train? Planning some swimming lessons to improve my technique, i would say i'm a poor swimmer, do some brick sessions, already doing a lot of interval in my running, anything else? Will practice transitions at home. I have found some stuff online, but interested to hear some real world stuff from anyone out there..
Currently biggest dilemma is what to wear! found an entry level tri suit for about 50 quid, might go for that as i can see me getting some use out of it!!
