Goals

Hi I'm asking for some help, through the running app and changing my food and gym I have lost 3st this year. I am super amazed and on my way to my goal. However I want a challenge to prove how far I have come. I want to do a triathlon.

I want to start with a novice one as most of the super sprints seem to be in open water (a new worry) lol. Does anyone know about a triathlon in the pool near London.

thanks

We have our very own triathlon Queen here you’ll be pleased to know, and she swims in the sea and open water I believe. She’s Moderator in the Race Support community I’ll give her a shout or you could head over there 👉

Hi Cazza!

That's a great idea. Triathlons are super fun, and marvellous for improving your running too!

The link below should take you to a list of pool-swim triathlons near London, on the British Triathlon website. There are quite a lot of aquathlons amongst them, but these are also really fun, and great practice for triathlons.

misswobble mentioned the Marathon Running and Race Support forum which is a lovely little community of people trying to up their game, and a few of us on there are triathletes. Do join us!

Yes I know, and some of those events are triathlons. You can also modify the search yourself to be more specific. But don't discount duathlons out of hand!

Look at the Go-Tri triathlons. Mini ones. I’m tempted next year too 👌🏽
