Training

Went to my first triathlon training class tonight. There are about ten of us all of varying ability. It was more of an orientation than a workout. The coach, who owns a big/triathlon store and races himself, watched us run a warm-up lap and then ride three laps around a park. We also filled out a questionaire. Through email we'll let him know our self assessments and goals and then he'll work with us to develop a personnal program. We'll also eventually get fitted on our bikes, meet with a nutritionist, get swim lessons and bike and running help.

Tomorrow we can either do the Terramugus triathlon, watch it, do an extreme 5K in Hartford or workout on our own.

Saturday we'll meet for a tempo run.

They will break us up into groups depending on ability and goals. Saturday I think will be a three to five mile run.

The coach talked a little about the Terramugus triathlons and said there was only about five guys who were really good, the rest were mediocre. I felt like raising my hand and saying, "No, no, they were all ten feet tall with legs like tree trunks."
