A co-worker of mine told me about an indoor triathlon at the local YMCA. The race has a 15 minute swim in the pool, a 15 minute ride on a stationary bike, and 15 minute run on a treadmill. The athletes will get a 5 minute transition between each event. I haven’t done a triathlon yet. This one sounded like fun, and will be good practice for future triathlons including my Ironman race next August.
I stopped at the YMCA on my way home from work and signed up for the race. The triathlon takes place on December 14th. It may be a bit agressive for my first triathlon, but I am targeting to finish it in about 55 minutes. LOL!
I still have to figure out what to wear. Do I wear my swim jammers for the swim, and then change into bike shorts for the ride, and the run? Or do I change into running shorts for the bike and the run? Or do I just wear my swim shorts for the whole race, maybe throwing a jersey on after the swim? Maybe I should get a tri suit? I will have to do some research into what to wear for an indoor triathlon.
