Triathalon 101


Stacey and Ryan have been training and running triathalons lately and they impregnated the triathalon bug in me. How they managed to do it, I still don’t quite understand. They don’t teach that in sex ed in Utah. I had been toying around with the idea of starting to train for a triathalon for a few weeks now. I really think it is a good match for my ADHD. This allows me to do three different races in one race. I looked around at a few different Road Bike stores here in Salt Lake City. I narrowed it down between a TREK and Specialized bike. I kept looking for a good deal and was having a hard time finding the right size and having it in stock at the store. My other biking buddies, Tony and Fred were out and about and ran across a Trek Madone 5.2 Discovery Team bike at Highland Cyclery. It is a 2006 so I got an excellent deal on the bike. The best part of the whole bike is that it is BLUE!!!

Now I need to find my first Triathalon. If anyone has any ideas or helpful insights please let me know. I guess my other Triathalon issue is swimming. I really can’t swim… I can doggie paddle, but I don’t think that is going to do it. Now I need to find me a swim coach.

    Congratulations on your fabulous new blue bike. I have heard Salt Lake Running Company has some good recomendations on triathalon coaches. XO.
