Triathlon

[roxyhart]

Hi sisses! Opening a thread on triathlon. Right now, there's no dedicated thread on it, nasisingit and nababanggit banggit lang siya sa running or swimming and even other threads as well. It deserves its own thread, right?

Who's preparing for a tri? Who's dreaming of finishing a triathlon? Who's already a triathlete? Share!

Me, I've always been a runner. It's my favorite sport. I've ran and finished strong a marathon (just reiterating that the marathon distance is 42.195 kilometer hihi) and heaps of other shorter distance races in the past. I also bike and I have finished some duathlons (run - bike - run). As for swim, I've been having formal swim coaching (freestyle, Total Immersion technique) the past 6 months or so.

And guess what, I finally (finally kasi I've long been dreaming of doing it, I just couldn't get started) finished my first triathlon the other weekend Ang sarap sarap ng pakiramdam!

I am a proud mommy triathlete. Yay I can finally call myself a triathlete na haha! Training for it was not easy, given my plate is full with so many things. But ladies, it can be done. Hoping to find other tri enthusiasts and wannabes here!

Congrats! right now I am "training" for my first ever marathon. Yes di naman talaga ako nakakapagtraining kasi I am very busy but I know I should have no excuses plus motivation kasi kapitbahay ko lang si Coach Rio. haha. Anyway when I get to finish my first 42k, I will try duathlon then tri na.

^ Hope your marathon went great, sis, and above all -- hope you had fun!

Yep, personally, if you're coming from zero, best if you focus on one sport muna. Then another, and then simultaneous na. Iwas burn out na rin and para hindi gaanong mabigat agad ang training.

Am looking for a small-time race anytime soon. Wala pa akong naka-line up na race hehe.

Hello girls,

Can you please refer a good swim instructor for a beginner? I wanted to go ahead with triathlon but swimming is my weakness. Thank you!
