With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

flyonthewall Posts: 1,823 Joined: 2005/01/18	2006/12/23, 07:43 AM Go for it! I'll be training for my next tri as soon as the weather improves enought that I can get back on my bike-probably March. The tri is why I'm currently doing the swimming. You might want to begin with a sprint tri, the distances are a bit shorter. There's a great website call beginnertriathelete.com . If you go for this, I'll virtually train with you as well, I think my next tri is in May too.

SO...I'm going to look for something here locally....maybe a 5k or something of the like. :( -------------- \\"If you had one shot...or one opportunity to seize all you ever wanted...in one moment...would you capture it...or just let it slip\\" eminem
