Sprint Triathlon in July

[SerendipityAlways]

H - I'm training for my first sprint triathlon in July (age 43) and would love to hear from anyone else also training for a triathlon. How are you finding the training? Are you following a specific programme? Have you bought a wetsuit yet?????

Hello. That will be me then. :)
I'm not following a programme as such. Try for 3 bike rides a week- either on th road or on the spin bike at the gym. Personal training oncea week working on strength. Run 2x week. Swim when I can. My triathlon is in sept.

My first triathlon is July too. I'm not following any training programme as yet but I try to run/swim/cycle at least a couple of times a week. Did a 10k run the other week and a 5k swim and did pretty good times for both (at least for me) so I'm just going to maintain fitness and practice transitions. Bought a tri suit the other day but have yet to train with it on. The swim is in the pool so no need for a wetsuit yet.

I just knew that if I searched for "Triathlon" someone on mumsnet would be doing one!

I am aiming for one in September. I am currently a 40 year old couch potato and so am starting slowly ... infact, I am going out for my first run/walk tonight.

There´s a triathlon club around the corner from me, so I am going to (gulp) go along on Tuesday. Wish me luck ...
