Hey Guys, there is some great Triathlon info for beginners at the bottom of the blog page. It'll give you tips on all events. I am currently trying to acquire a wetsuit (specifically for swimming) and some plus size biking/running gear (Junonia, ProMotion, Danskin). These are big purchases and I wouldn't recommend buying until you are SURE you want to Tri and Tri again every year.
I also found out what that deoderant looking stuff was that the ladies were rubbing all over themselves at the triathlon.....IT'S ANTICHAFFING stuff! Holy smokes did I have a bad chaffing rash from the bike on my last tri. I couldn't walk straight for a week! So if you're interested it's called BODYGLIDE. You can find it in most sporting stores.
This year I've decided to do the Danskin Triathlon in Seattle. It's an all women event benefitting Breast Cancer research. I spoke with one of last year's participants and from the sounds of it IT'S AWESOME. If you would like to do this Tri with me then be aware that registration fills up fast. Once registration opens up you it will be filled up that day or the next because lots of women like to do this one. There's a link at the bottom of this page. Be aware also that this Tri is on a Sunday.
I haven't gone into an official gym to workout BUT I have been more active with the kids and dog. I've been going on more walks and playing more outside and doing yard work. It's a step up for me. I'm slowly getting back into the active lifestyle again. By next week I should be ready for our mini tri.
Keep in touch ladies. Let me know your struggles and victories!
You guys keep me inspired.

I want to do the Danskin Tri. I hope that I can register before it's full. Let me know when it opens.
I've been doing cardio-kickboxing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I plan to jog on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, I'm going to check out a Ballet class.
We'll see!! I'm really anxious for the first mini. Let me know when you ladies are ready.
