Hey all,

I'm 23 and live in Minneapolis, MN. I decided to do an indoor sprint triathlon in late april so i'm training for that. My "training" has been a bit off lately but i'm pretty confident i could finish it right now so my goal is going to finish it in under 75 minutes, a number that will probably drop as i get closer to the event. I look forward to browsing all the info!

Welcome!

Good to have a first race in sight. What are the distances going to be for it?

800 m swim, 13 m bike, 3 m run, all indoors. I'm looking forward to it! If it goes well and I enjoy it i'll check out a couple of outdoor tris in the area.

Will the run be on a treadmill? Wil the bike be on a gym stationary bike or a spin bike or your own on a trainer?

I'm just curious as I've never done an indoor one :)

Hey Slimpee,

Welcome to trifuel... If from MN, but currently enjoying the nice warm weather in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. I´m here training. I got the heck out of dodge in the nick of time, I missed both snow storms.

Just keep the training going and you should be able to attain your goal.

brrrr, too much snow to go running. today here in argentina we put our wetsuits on and went for a swim in the ocean, it was nice and sunny but the breeze made me think I was back home.
