Tonight I attended the kickoff for Team Playmakers Triathlon Training program. I'm very interested in becoming better at triathlons, and having people support me and keep me accountable will definitely help! They are going to have weekly swims at the Mason Aquatic Center, complete with swim stroke specialists to help us be more efficient swimmers. They will have bikes a couple of times a week, and running days a couple of times a week. The people at the kick-off seemed mostly like beginners, so I will fit right in!
My next step is to buy a bike and helmet. I'm planning to spend about $300 on a bike, but I'm not sure what exactly that will get me. I'd like to get a triathlon bike, but I might just get a mountain bike with some good tires.

Cool! Will you be doing the Hawk Island Tri in June? I've done that one the last two years (even though I'm in Detroit) and it's a ton of fun!
ReplyDeleteFor bikes, a tri bike isn't necessary but if you can find one, a road bike is way lighter and faster (b/c it's easier) than a mt. bike. But really, any bike will do!
Yeah, I'm planning on doing the Hawk Island Tri if I have a bike by then. There is also the Lansing Legislator tri later in the summer... I think that one is a longer distance (Olympic distance maybe?).
