Welcome to My First Triathlon, a triathlon exclusively for first timers.

Avoid the intimidation factor as you and hundreds of your friends take the plunge for the first time. Athletes (yes athletes) begin with an easy 400 Meter swim.

They will then mount their bikes for a 20 km ride which is comprised of one loop starting and finishing at the transition zone.

The bike course is mostly pancake flat with some small hills.

The 5 km run route is mostly pancake flat with the only hill being the finisher’s podium at the finish line.

The run routes take athletes out and back from the same transition zone as the swim to bike transition zone located next to the swim area. The finish lines are also located at the transition zone.

Grab a friend and start training as this race only comes once a year in your community. The event is designed specifically to attract new athletes to the sport of triathlon. Many first time triathletes have gone on to compete in races around the world. Whether you are planning a career as a professional triathlete or just want to get a race under your belt and see what the sport is all about, My First Triathlon is for you. This is a triathlon you can only do once, and once you graduate you will be captured by the allure of pushing yourself to the limits.

Training for My First Triathlon is simple, it just takes a little time commitment. Jump in the pool, swim a few laps, then jump on your bike, ride a couple of miles and then go for a short run afterwards. If you feel tired, Stop. Go have a beer, go to work, watch TV, or phone a friend. If you feel good, keep going and keep increasing the distances week by week. If you get too busy with work, and take a few days or a week off training, so what. The key is to slowly incorporate training into your lifestyle. Remember Triath! lons are fun! If you follow a regular training schedule, you will just naturally get faster. Our simple diet and training program. Eat less food and exercise three times a week.

Have fun training and we’ll see you at My First Triathlon!
