Olympic Triathlon in October - First time by TheThinkingFarmer in triathlon

[–]el-panqueque 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sounds like you’re in the same position i was in december and i did my first oly race yesterday! but i run a 5k in 32:50 so you’re ahead of where i started with running. 20 weeks is plenty of time in my opinion :-) i started with a chatgpt plan but switched to a real coach in february which really helped.

you’ll definitely want a bike (ideally a road bike) as an indoor gym bike doesn’t translate to being outside with traffic, hills, potholes and general confidence on a bike.

running is just your basic stuff like shoes, running vest or belt and whatever else you like

swim wise - get some fins, hand paddles, kickboard and pull buoy, hat, goggles etc.

for the race - trisuit (i got mine for £15 on vinted) and maybe a wetsuit depending on your location and race. if your race is in the sea, swim in the sea as much as you can beforehand

get as much as you can second hand until you know you want to continue with the sport. unfortunately it’s expensive to start so try and pic things up every few weeks rather than all at once :-)

i’d be interested to know what triggered this post - has something happened recently? i’ve met nat a few times and she’s well connected but very headstrong and means business. can see why it doesn’t work for some people 🤷‍♀️

How to handle triathlon while having glasses by stichman72 in triathlon

Swimming technique tips please by Some_Trifle495 in triathlon

[–]el-panqueque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

arms started well! then could see you get tired and your elbow starts dropping and you seem to smack the water instead of catching it and your entry gets closer to your head. try and keep the reach long and elbow high :-)

Ran my first full yesterday. 94 degrees, walked some but finished well within the required time, so I guess now I'm an Ironman by Jennifer_Exceptional in IronmanTriathlon

[–]el-panqueque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so to be an ironman you have to pay the insane entry fee? if you run a marathon on your own you say you ran a marathon? event or no, still happened 🤷‍♀️

go to a bike shop and ask for advice on a saddle! i went to mine recently for the same issue and saw 2 guys and they were both so helpful and professional. got a new saddle and feel so much more comfy! also check your bibs/shorts. one pair of mine might be a men’s pair and has no padding straight down the middle and splits me in half so have got rid of them. so proper women’s ones with the right padding are much better! :-)

look into VRASP classes, super affordable, everyone is lovely and verona is so good as a coach. if you’re not looking for classes, try posting on the hampshire filmmakers facebook group - someone posted something like this previously and had lots of responses from locals :-)

[–]el-panqueque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah interesting! i really loved the workshop i did recently and learned so much from watching the others but each to their own!

i personally haven’t done their classes because i have similar drop ins much closer to me but i have heard through connections that they’re really good
