We suggest that you keep a log like the one below to chart your progress. The first log is kept daily and describes the Training, any problems/injuries and the location. The second chart is a list of Race Results. This is a wonderful gauge for charting your progress. Just remember, all courses are different even if they are the same distances. If your times are not what you expect, remember that slight differences in terrain, weather and water conditions make a HUGE difference.

If you have any great daily workouts that you would like to see listed here, please send them to TriathaNewbie.com so they can be listed too.

	Race Results


TriathaNewbie.com recommends that you take the time to chart your progress like our staff member did below. It will help you see your strengths, weakness and (most of all) stand as proof that you competed in and completed a kick-butt triathlon! If you're not sure how to get this information, visit the website of the triathlon event about a week or so after the event. It will give you a link to the results and they will be listed just as they are listed below. All events have a master list with males and females listed on it and some give secondary lists with the groups separated by gender and/or by age. If, by chance, your event doesn NOT have a website, it is safe to assume that the results are posted on coolrunning.com. Remember, only one person comes in first! Triathanewbie.com is geared to the rest of us!
