Mini-Triathlon in Oregon, 97062

Thank you so much! The thing I think I'd have the most trouble with is biking, but I'm already a great swimmer and have been running long distances lately. I guess those 2 come naturally. Can you help me find a training place nearby too? thank you

Hi Cameron,

Thanks for emailing again!

We just checked around but were not able to find any training groups. That doesn't mean there aren't any out there though. We suggest that you call your local gyms or YMCA and see if they run tri training programs though their facilities. There are many places that offer tri training programs but don't advertise them well.

The other thing you can do is check out this book, Training Plans for Multisport Athletes: Your Essential Guide to Triathlon, Duathlon, XTERRA, Ironman, and Endurance Racing. It's a fantastic book and she's a fantastic coach!

By the way, we also found another triathlon along the way:

Let us know how everything goes!

Be well,
Niki
