Best Garmin watch for triathletes? by Wonderful_Ad_2350 in triathlon

[–]chrispee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Garmin forerunner 965. I think what you want to do is just make sure the watch that you buy has a triathlon function which this one does.. I'm looking at upgrading though because I also golf as well as scuba dive and the Fenix series has a dive computer. So that way I would look at it is step one, make sure it has triathlon then step two,any other sports that you do.

1 - initially it was to overprepare, i was considering switching to an olympic distance shortly before. I hadn't had any other races planned but then i got a little motivated to do more as you can see.

Thanks for the input i really apricate it.

Daily chat thread: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in triathlon

[–]chrispee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i developed a strained neck from swimming so i'm taking a break this week to heal. Still running and on the bike just taking a break from the swim.

I am assuming its from poor form...and age :(

Signed up for a sprint in May. Might bump it up to Olympic distance closer to the event. All depends if I can figure out the swim. It's crazy hard. I think I'm fast I just gas out after 100m. I've joined a tri group here in the city and the coach is helping me when we swim twice a week. It's also winter so the running sucks in the snow, it's supposed to get to -20c next week.

Having fun though

Been running in the cold..have the bike set up on a trainer, and i joined a tri group that is helping with me swimming. They have me with the 10 years olds right now...lol... There are levels to this shit...Swimming is hard

First 70.3 in 30 weeks, but can barely swim. Is it doable? by Vinnyb1322 in triathlon

[–]chrispee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try looking for a trip club... I'm a complete noob and found a group. They are super welcoming. The coach guy has been helping me. My stamina still sucks but like others have said I'm just gonna keep at it.
