I did a couple and they didnt go like i planned. I have raced MTB for 3 years and am going to college on a full ride for swimming I also did cross country all through middle and high school. I finished swimming in less then half the time as the winner but when we got on the bikes i got so tired from constant spinning and he killed me then i couldnt make it up on the run. The place that people near the top that win is the transactions between the different events keep those times low.  Good Luck

id love to do them but i honestly sink. im the slowest swimmer that i blow the whole thing. but they're pretty fun, get some little things for your shoes. im trying to think of what they are called but you put your laces through them and you can just press the button and slide it down to tighten your shoes, should save you some time when your getting your shit on. watch out for crotch rashes, shit sucks, and go fast, best of luck

i win triathlons all the time. just shave layers of skin off of your torso with a razor and you should be fine.

i was thinking about this thread while i was at the gym last night...(yea i really don't have much else to think about when on the eliptical for an hour)

and ive decided to do a triathalon. im thinking a sprint or one step up? i swim almost everday (im a swim instructor) and i run a few times a week. ive got a road biike.

so i was thinking, all i need to do is add in a bike session or two a week? maybe amp up what im doing right now?

thread creator are you doing 2 a days?
