Summer Goals (Triathlon)

Triathlon! Are you kidding me??? Actually, triathlons are one of the fastest growing sports for the casual athlete looking for a new challenge. Nascars Tony Kanaan is a triathlet (https://www.paddocktalk.com/news/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=19591&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0). You will be surprised to learn that there are many “sprint” triathlons in your area. The swim may only be the length of a football field. The run may only be 5 miles. The challenge (and benefit) is to get your body for three disciplines. Many casual triathlets will not have a carbon fiber frame bike. The bike is obviously the biggest investment. You can use your mountain bike if you want to. Don’t be shy, just Tri It!
