I’m getting to that age where I’ve clearly lost the plot and am thinking about entering a triathlon. I’ve cycled for years (not competitively) so that’s by far my strongest leg. I’ve recently started running on my lunch breaks and can fairly comfortably do 5k. I rarely get the chance to go swimming, but I’ve been a couple of times over the last couple of months and the distance is easy enough, it’s the speed that’s the problem. I’m planning to do a sprint distance rather than the Olympic distance.
I was just wondering if anyone had any comments on their first triathlon. Did you enjoy it, or did you spend the whole time worrying about getting kicked during the swim and your bike being stolen from the transition area? My local one will have the swim leg in the pool which I’m not sure how will work, but I know the area for running/cycling so that would be comforting.
