Triathlon - Warning from the Surgeon General ??

This sport can be addictive!
I completed my 1st Tri last weekend -- the Power Sprint Triathlon. It was a 300m pool swim, 12 mi bike, 5K run -- an easy course for a 1st timer. By most standards, my performance sucked --- especially the run. I'm sure some folks were snickering as I plodded on by. Fair enough. The goal was to finish -- I did it!! Not too bad for an out of shape, overweight, 50 year old.

I'm planning on doing the Sandman Triathlon in Sept. The Sandman is a 1K ocean swim, 14 mi bike and 5K run. The swim is considerably longer and more difficult than the Power Sprint. Time to get serious about training!!!

Are there any good sites with tips/hints for the OWS ??

Thanks in advance.

The first step is to admit you have a problem and are powerless to overcome it. Second, feed your addiction with reckless abandon. There's probably a third, but I can't think of it....

The Surgeon General also says that Cigarettes are unhealthy. So what does he/she know???

I did my 2nd today and got my buddy to do his 1st with me. He was freaked out going into it and now loves it.

congrats on the first one!!!
