I have been thinking about signing up for the Danskin Women's Triathlon. It's for a good cause and it also might provide me with the motivation I need to get my flabby butt in shape.
I am wondering if anyone has ever done one and what your experiences are, good or bad. The NY Metro area one is not until September.

Re: Anyone ever done a triathlon?
I haven't done one but I have volunteered at the Mighty Montauk Triathalon. I have been a timer for the swimming and running portions of the race. I am amazed by the athletes! Kudos to you for giving it a shot!

Re: Anyone ever done a triathlon?
Thanks! I have been giving it a lot of thought. I used to be a lot more athletic but I've become a lazy wifeish blob! I am mostly worried about the swimming part, since I tend to just putter around in the water.

Good luck! You can do it!!!!!
DH is usually out in the water for the swimming part...he's on the boat with my cousin or on his surfboard ready to pull people out! Only a few people need it. I wish I had more advice for you!

Re: Anyone ever done a triathlon?
This is one of my goals in life, after I have my baby, I want to get is AWESOME shape, I'm talking strict diet, exercise, weight training, etc, I want to be ripped like Madonna, and I want to complete a triathalon within 5 years. I swam competitively for many years, and was on sports teams that would make us run miles at each practice, but I'm no biker, that's the part I fear the most. Good luck, let me know how the process goes, I hear it is an amazing feeling when you cross that finish line!!
P.S- I'll do the Danskin triathalon Sept 2006 with you if you can wait.
