Post a Comment On: Transplant Athlete

I'd like to give Triathlons a tri. I haven't swam longer than a pool lap in probably 20 years. I haven't run more than a mile in probably 20 years. The problem I've come across so far is most of the triathlons I've researched are already full. Have you seen how much these events cost to enter? It could easily be a $200 entry fee for a shorter distance event. Ironman Lake Placid entry fee, if they had general admission spots open $550, the only slots they have left are $1100. OUCH. I think I can handle the bike portion of any distance Triathlon, it's the swim and run portions that I'll need to train for. I'd like to do a couple Sprint distances (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) and top my season off with a Half Ironman (1.9km swim, 90km ride, 21.1km run). What else is on my calendar? Well, I feel good enough to head down to Florida in February for the Sebring 24 Hour event. I'd also like to complete a brevet series this spring (200k, 300k, 400k, 600k). Possibly the National 24 hour event in Michigan in June.
