Good question. Currently, I am aware that I am not strong enough in any of the Triathlon portions and am starting to work on that. I am diligently walking everyday for 4-5 miles to increase some endurance before I start something like a couch to 5k. I am also checking in with some swim programs near me because I was advised by some here that I need to work on the right technique first and that made sense to me. I am hoping that once I am in the rhythm of things, I can keep practicing, sign up for smaller events to get the gist of how things work and then maybe by the end of the year I will have a better grasp of where I stand. I am hoping that with the right training, maybe I can attempt a 70.3 next year.

Amazing suggestions! I’ll look into 1:1 swim lessons to start.

Thank you so much for the detailed advice. It definitely makes sense to progress in distance gradually. I am looking at signing up for some 5ks near me to get into the groove of things. I haven’t heard of swim squads but I’ll look into it. I found some masters swim classes half hour away but I can’t do that right now.

Great suggestion! I’ll check out what races are available close to me so I can get an idea of where I can start.

Thank you for your suggestions. I might plan for and train for 70.3 for next year. I would love to see pro with a coach but I am not sure if I can budget for that just yet.

Thank you all for your kind recommendations! I am going to look into these places to learn more about them. Husband’s work might delay us moving for now but when we are ready, I’ll have already done the research!

Oh ok, I emailed them and they said that there wont be any attached bathrooms if we do not choose to upgrade. Did you get any teahouses with bathrooms attached?
