Anyone else out there do triathlons ?

Question

Just curious if there is anyone else that does tris?
 And has anyone done one while pregnant?
I will be 16 weeks when I do my sprint ( 200 yd swim, 8 mile bike, 5k run). This is nothing new for me and I've been able to keep training ( just at a slower pace) but for whatever reason I'm a little nervous.

Answer

Looking silly!

Answer

You can't see how windy it was - 50mph+ gusts plus torrential rain. I had to walk on a downhill section of bike (as did most) due to the side winds and was desperate to be as careful as possible.

Answer

I've done quite a few (none pregnant) and my only concern would be getting kicked during the swim. If you can stay on the outside of the pack I think you'll be fine.

Answer

Hey, I did one short one at 22 weeks. I was doing iron distances before I got pregnant so it was fun. I asked if I could start first and the swim was in a pool - I didn't want to risk being kicked and would not fit in a wetsuit anyway! The organisers were very accommodating. It was slow but I smiled all the way round despite it being some of the worst weather (wind and rain in a Scottish winter) I have ever cycled in!

Answer

This is my first pregnancy but my fourth Tri, I will be 8 weeks. I am a little nervous as the swim is an ocean swim in Maine- I have a wetsuit but last year it was so cold!

Answer

I have done several tris in the past 5 years. The longest was a half iron in 2011 but mostly sprints since. I just found out I am pregnant and hibby and I had planned to do a sprint on our anniversary (8/1) but I just assumed I wouldn't be able to do it. So glad to hear that it's not out of the question!
