Hello all! I have been thinking of trying a triathalon for quite a while however, I never knew anyone who ever did or attempted one before and kept puting it off. I do ride my bike quite a bit but i'm a bit nervous about the swimming. I'm looking into swimming lessons but as far as actually training for a triathalon....I'm stuck. I don't know where to begin. Do I just go out my front door and start running? I know one of the challeges I will have is nutrition. I eat terrible and I know I'll have to change that if i'm going to begin this process but I think I need some help. I got a few books but I guess i'm a bit overwhelmed. I live in the Flower Mound area but the closest teams I can find are in Dallas. Any advice for a new newbie? Thanks for all your help!
