What tips do you have for someone in their first triathlon?

I have always wanted to do a triathlon and would like to start with a sprint in the next year or so. Any tips? I’m not too concerned about the physical challenge of it, I’m an athlete and plan to train. I think what I’m most nervous about is the logistics of it! Will I figure it out? Should I go check one out and see what the transitions are like before I attempt it?

Is it ok to race a Half Ironman followed a week later by an Olympic distance Triathlon?

I’m am a fairly well trained sprint triathlete, who would like to participate in a Half Ironman followed by an Olympic distance triathlon the following Sunday, do you think that I will be too sore to race so soon after the half ironman? My weekly training for the past 3 months consists of the following weekly routine : three days of riding or 125 miles on the bike, three -30 minute swims- and three 5-7 mile runs.

Portage Lakes Sprint Triathlon

When my friends decided we should all do a triathlon together, I wasn’t even certain what a triathlon was. I agreed anyway, and six months later we did it! The sprint triathlon includes a 750 meter swim, a 20 kilometer bike ride, and a 5 kilometer run. We had so much fun, and we’re definitely doing it again next year.

I need help on training for the swim portion of a triathlon?

I’ll be doing my second "super sprint" tri in mid-September. The swim portion of my first SUCKED. It’s only a 400 yard swim, and need some help in developing a 6 week swim training plan. Advice?

Should I take a time off training right before a triathlon or train right up until the day of the race?

Is it better to give my body a little rest, or maintain the normal routine? If I should rest, how many days off should I take?
btw, it’s a sprint.
