Was curious if anyone here has done sprint triathlons before and their experiences with them. A friend of mine has done quite a few and I've started training for my first one in mid-May. A bit nervous but excited for it since it's one of those things I had always wanted to do but never knew where to start. Helps to have a training buddy to keep on each other. For those of you that don't know, its a 1/2 km swim, 5km run, and between 17-20 km bike.

Yeah. My friend and I do something very similar to that about a dozen times over the summer. They've always been really fun.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

I would think shaving the mop on your head to reduce drag would be a good start!!~

How much do you practice now?

ahah. They make hats for that.

It was only the other day that I decided to go ahead with this 100% so I'm going to start pushing myself a lot harder. 4-5x a week I run 3 miles/bike 8 miles (plus other weight lifting). On my off days, I plan to start swimming.

Bald caps? Don't do the swimming kind. Do the fake bald kind imo.

I would never even sign up for one of htese in the first place Tests your physical limits to the extreme and I am sooo worried that I would drop out literally fainting half way through(although that never happens)

Well it would depend on which area you had experience in track, swim team or some kind of biking conglomerate and then you would train the other two intensely while easing up on the main one. I would definitely recommend buying a book on this though because I'd imagine a really effective training regiment would be pretty complex

I did one in about 1:10. I'd like to do more, but then I have to train biking again .

Are you trying to get a good/specific time or are you just doing it for fun? In any case you should train the disciplines in combination too, especially biking -> running.

I'm doing the first one for fun. Just so I can see where I'm at, how I can improve, etc. Not aiming for any specific time but I'll be happy to finish. In the future, I can see myself being more competitive with it.

You still do them h3r1n6? Regardless, when you did do them, how would you train?


I realize I can go and search (I've already done that) but I like to hear what other people have to say, etc.

Currently I am not training for one. Just focussing on running and keeping swimming around. In the long run I would like to participate in an iron man.

It's been some time since I did that time, august 2007. Haven't competed in one since then. At that time I would always train with a friend. I didn't really have a strict plan for training, we would just split 5-6 days a week to the 3 disciplines.

I've done a few of those, never too seriously and usually with a friend or two. Good fun, and training isn't too time consuming (compared to other distances ...). If you're aiming for a good time, put some thought into your changes and your setup for them, play around a bit until you find a technique that suits you and try to incorporate that into your training. You can easily lose or gain a lot of time if you screw up/play it right.
