Whether you are tall or short, heavy or thin, you can compete in a triathlon and have the time of your life. The feeling of accomplishment that you get from crossing the finish line after pushing your body as hard as you can is not provided by any other sport. Triathlon is a sport for anyone and this is why... if you are a fast person with less endurance then you can race the sprint distance. If you are a slightly slower person but have a lot of endurance then you can race the iron distance or any distance in-between triathlon training program. There is a distance and a race for everyone. With a growing desire and popularity, triathlon races are now available in every state and almost in every city. A person is bound to find a great race in their area that is convenient to travel to and return from. In my county alone there are almost 50 different races from April to October every year. If you are a new-comer to the sport then you would probably want to start with the sprint distance. It consists of a 750 - 800 meter swim, a 12 mile bike ride and a 5k run (3.1 miles). This is a distance that requires training to be competitive but not too much to finish. Triathlon Stickers The bike and run require no new technique to do it. I am of course assuming that you have run before and ridden a bicycle. Swimming on the other hand does require some technique and experience swimming in open water. It is a new kind of panic and fear when you swim with your head underwater in the pitch black for the first time. It can get especially stressful if it is during your first race. I recommend swimming and your local recreation center for up to 30 minutes at a time for about 10 sessions prior to racing. Although you may know how to ride a bike and run, you do need some conditioning to put them all back-to-back.
