Training? Tri This.


Perhaps you’ve made 2011 the year that you are going to do your first triathlon. Maybe you’ve already done some races and you’d like to get to “the next level.” Or, you might be preparing for something else, and need some training and coaching resources.  

Well, here you go.
A new blog was born over the weekend, specifically for you.  Salem Triathlon Team is a free site with resources such as nutrition, training tips, and a list of nearby races.  Group rides, workouts, and tri-clinics will be posted soon. 

When you’re ready to get really focused on your training goals, how about a personalized, interactive online coach? That part will probably require a modest fee...but many folks prefer being coached rather than going it alone.
Most of what this site will offer is exactly the kind of stuff you need to be better informed, set new goals, be more accountable.  For free.
My suggestion: follow this blog. Watch it grow. Step into your race.

Have I mentioned that I think it's wicked awesome that you're doing a triathalon? Because I think it is! Is it a spectator event that we can come cheer you on? If so, when is the event? Good luck and happy training!

I was going to attempt one last year, didn't get comfortable enough with the swim part. But I think I'll try again this year. I mean, my husband owns a wicked racing bike and it would be a shame to not use it, right?

I'm one of those people who has to actually commit to an event in order to train better. So, I guess I need to sign up for something. Tina, I'm just like you! My swimming needs serious help. Right now it's a good opportunity to practice gargling. :)

Yes, get in gear and sign the paper! I'm cheerin' you on! I'll come take awesome pics for your blog on the event day if you want! LOL!
And since I said that, I should probably go to the Portland Marathon website and sign up too...

Here's my favorite website to waste time on. My Sunday morning ritual of drinking coffee and "thinking" about riding bikes...and swimming...and running!

Did I miss something?
You're doing a triathlon?
You just became a bigger rockstar than me. And I cannot wait to see the video. Bravo.

Kelly, here's a great training plan for you. It's time based (so when it ways 12 run that means 12 min, not 12 miles...just making sure...
