Need Triathlon Training Tips

[rmrmr]

Hi Everyone,

I'm planning on participating the the Danskin triathlon this July. Does anyone have any tips on triathlon training or nutritional information for this type of training.? I have competed in a short triathlon before-300M swim, 10 Mile Bike and 1 or 3 mile run. I currently do a mix of cardio and weights with Cathe and at the Gym. Recently had surgery on my foot and should be able to start running again in March. I follow the weight watchers points system which is sometimes difficult with the protein I need.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I hope to do my first tri this summer, so can't give you any personal advice. Have you checked out some of the tri sites?

www.tri-newbies.com is a good one.

What kind of surgery did you have? I am having foot problems right now and haven't been able to run

Hi Andrea,

Good luck on your first triathlon. I really enjoyed the short one I did. I came across the Tri-newbies site last week-it is a wealth of information.

My surgery was a bunionectomy with osteotomy, the second surgery on the same foot. This surgery was much more invasive that the first one, but now there are pins and screws keeping everything in place so this should be the last time for this. I also suffer from plantar fasciitis occassionally and have to lay off running.
