Anyone do triathlons?

Question

Does anyone do tris?
And has anyone done one while pregnant?
I will be 16 weeks when I do my sprint tri in two weeks. I will definitely be taking it easy but have been glad that even when I'm not pushing it but my pace hasn't slowed as much as I thought it would.

Answer

have u ever done a triathlon?

having done sprints, OD and up to 70.3, I've seen my fair shares of falls etc.

if u don't mind slowing down at bends, and when there's a crowd, I guess it's fine.
but sprints are usually insane... your HR goes haywire, you're on overdrive cos it's quick race. one of the quickest I've done.

the swim Starr u have to be careful too. is it a mass swim start? or split into male female?

Answer

Not a tri participant, but really enjoy cycling....

I think you have the right idea planning to stay away from any packs of cyclists.

I have a road/touring bike and a mountain bike.  The only problem I had was that the position you have to sit in on the road bike got uncomfortable once my uterus was big enough to push outside of my pelvic bone.  I think that happened around 20 weeks for me so I just went to exclusively riding my mountain bike.

I assume you have been training so you will know whether you have hot that point or not.

Answer

I run 4-6 miles 4 days a week and I'm 13w going on 14w.  Doctor said as long as you were doing them before you got pregnant it is ok to continue.  I know women who have run marathons while pregnant.

Answer

I do 5k runs now, used to do 10k. Never did a tri though. They say keep up your prior levels just tone back when your body ques let you know. I'm sure you'll do fine.
