I completed my first triathlon in 2009, but the idea sparked years earlier during my then-current exercise routine—a tortuous out-and-back three-mile jog with a smoke break halfway. I’m not sure how I first thought of it; I was probably craving some fun. Because my “training” was pure drudgery, a punishment jog, a half-hearted attempt to burn a couple calories from the couple thousand extra I’d had the night before.

I was far from race-ready–in many ways.

But one limitation is that I had no idea how to go about finding and actually signing up for a race.

How about you?

Have you dreamed of crossing a finish line but have no idea how to get from here to the start line? Do you have a secret goal you’re terrified to tackle? Whether it’s a 5K, triathlon, or other start line, we’ll provide inspiration and insight to tackle your first race with confidence.

You are good enough, you are athletic enough, and now is as good a time as any. I’m inviting you, personally, to join me on a journey to your first triathlon.

“If you can run or walk a mile, then you can train to complete a sprint triathlon.”

It may sound cliché, but these are words to live by. Even as a brand new athlete, completing a 5k or sprint triathlon is within your reach, if you put in the effort to “try.”

Whether you’re 12 or 85; a student, executive, or stay-at-home mom; fit or a self-proclaimed couch potato, you can complete a 5k or sprint tri with just a few months of effort and dedication.
