do you run cross country?

awesome im 15 and am starting to get into triathalon stuff bikings a breeze runnings ok but my swimming is another story lol

Didn’t do that well, but I’m ready for some more Great sport, loved every moment of it!

i used to in middle school i just finished a 1700 mile tour in the appalachian mountains so im in shape for biking runnings no too bad but im terrible at swimming….

train man

ok but goodluck on ur future triathlon

sweet.. well i’d run xc in high school if you want to be a triathlete… but being a good cyclist is harder than being a good triathlete anyways

Swimming is only technique. Train technique and you will be good

you’re pretty much correct, certainly in terms of triathlon – i came into triathlon through swimming, but still swim nationally. swimming as a sport involves (especially in sprints an butterfly) a lot of strength and so we do lots of weights, but with triathlon, swimming is good for fitness. but yes strength alone will get you nowhere

i have an olympic sized triathlon this sunday…my uncle just did ironman canada last week and it was a huge inspiration
i learned to swim from the youtube videos…last september I did not know how to swim haha

I’m about to do a triathalon this Sat. I’m excited, but it is a lot of technique. I was doing lots of weight training at first but I let that go quick once i figured out what triathalons were all about. Constant brick workouts work for me, bkie to run or swim to bike..

I did my first Sprint Tri on Labor Day 2009. What an addiction. My next one is in October! Love watching these videos!

woah thats some initiative ya got there!

I did the same thing. I could only swim 50 meters at a time without stoping.

These things are the most addicting things ever. I started two summers ago, I can’t go a day without swimming biking or running.

yea what the hell was that!! she really turned me on when she started screaming!! … lol nah i love the song. Benny is one of my fav dj of all time. Great vid!

nice video and song. but the part where the chick sings is annoying and weird

How much training is required to beable to complete an Ironman?
I wanna set myself a realistic goal. Oh and I’m a non runner, non swimmer. Got the cycling down though.

Yes, women should be seen and not heard!

5 hours training a week, Brother! It’s that easy!
A realistic goal for you should be to eat 1 bag of chips instead of the usual two per sitting.
Good Luck, See you in Kona!

You need at least 15 hours a week training for the ironman. The Pros usually 35-40hours a week.

Cycling’s the hardest part in Ironman!

I did my 1st last Sept at IM-MOO. Just train yourself for a century ride, a marathon and a 4,000 yd open water swim at the same time. Cut out all the filler workouts, include some threshold and recovery work and be very, very patient.

Took me 3 years.

what is the song called??

Same for me. I started my preparation 2 years ago, and now everyday I do something.
Swimming 4/w, running 4/w cycling 3/w …
My objective is the Nice IM in 2k10 !

i have to comment on the person that says you have to train at least 15 hours a week… i think thats not the case…. it all depends on the intensity of the training sessions and how well you take care of your body…. my first ironman i trained 12 hours a week and did the ironman in 13hours and felt very good after that… so dont get fooled with hours.. you can train long hours without putting in the intencity and that can be your down fall.. listen to your body… eat well prepare well….
