Multi-Sport RacingTriathalons and Adventure Racing have been sweeping the nation at a phenomenal rate. Multi-Sport Racing is one of the few sports where just completing a race is often considered a victory. Learn all about this sport, post photos, meet potential teammates or brag about your performance in a race.
Head Hunter, I'm wanting to start training for a triathalon. I've never been a runner but have gotten into it recently and I'm currently testing out a bike to see if I like it. What is your background and how did you train for your first Tri? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Anyway, Fish just did his first so he could probably help out. Are you thinking of doing the Sprint Tri in Conway in September? It's a great beginner race, I've done it twice.

No, I haven't checked that thread out but I will. Thanks. I've heard about the sprint tri in Conway in September. I may think about doing that one. I live there in Conway and have some friends around there that are into the endurance racing scene. They've kinda got me pumped up about it. I'm just looking for as much information on this as I can get. Thanks a bunch.

I talked to him on the phone a few weeks back - he's good and has started his own biz and is busy doing that and riding and is gonna get married again soon (to a hottie who appeared in a calendar no less - she is ). So he's good, just not here.
Hmmm, I seem to get to personally know a bunch of people from this forum. Wonder why that is?
