triathlon training

[sjweber]

Hey guys, Does any one on here do triathlons?
I had done some earlier in life and am now working toward my first sprint or olympic length this fall.
Just when you think you are in shape, this will kick your butt.
just woundered if anyone else uses this multisport for ski training?

Hell no. To hard.

picked up a Road Bike a month ago. Have not been able to ride until now cause of bum ankle..... Not into running, bad knee........ I was able to watch the Olympic Triathalon trials here in Tuscaloosa a few weeks back........ The leader came out of the swim about a minute or so ahead over everybody else, I figured there was no way for anybody to catch him, but the #2 and 3 guys worked together drafting on the bike portion and reeled him in..........

I will stick to MTB and Road Bikes for excersize.

You are not supposed to draft in the triathelon...

just going by what I read in the paper, just said the 2 and 3 guy caught up to #1, I am assuming they were drafting............

I've done a couple triathlons in the past. They are a lot of fun. I should get myself in shape and do some more of them. Sjweber have you ever thought about doing one of the Xterra triathlons? They are a whole different experience.
