First Timer

Ups, I posted this from someone else's google account, I am not really
Pedro Pinto. A little more information: I am a female, 31 years old.

TIA,

Courtney

Hi all! I would like to try a sprint triathlon by the end
of the season but have concerns about my athletic
abilities. Would like to avoid public humiliation, if at
all possible, but am committed to trying. Am interested in
tri-veterans suggestions for training based on my current
time. Swim - 100 meters 2:30 (for 800m total). Run - 5k
27.30, 10k 57:25. I don't have numbers for the bike
section, but I feel more competent in this area. Any
advise, suggestions for novice. Brutal honesty would be
greatly appreciated.

Just go out, do it, and have fun.

Don't worry about your times, speed, etc. You probably won't
be last, but if you are, so what?

Just doing a sprint tri, you'll do something 99% of your
peers can't (or won't.)

Go to www.trinewbies.com and meet fellow tri-virgins. Read,
ask questions, pick up tips.

Be careful, though. If you get hooked, you never know where
it'll lead. <g>
