Should a thrower try to sprint first or do the decathlon first??
Question: Should a thrower try to sprint first or do the decathlon first??
I am a trower(shot put, discus, and javelin) and I’m tired of just throwing. I want to run the 200 or the decathlon. I’ve tried the 200 and my P.R is 25.29, but I’ve never tried the decathlon. I’m a 13 year old boy and I’m 6 feet tall. Which event should I dO first??
I have never done high jump, pole vault, or the mile. My best time in the 100 meter hurdles is 15.2

Start by doing a few of the events in the decathlon. You did not mention pole vault, high jump,or hurdles.
This is the most difficult event in track and field.
Try a few events and then you can practice some of the others before you enter them.
So work your way into a full dec.
Run the 200 and go from there.
What kind of bike should I buy to participate in my first triathlon?
Question: What kind of bike should I buy to participate in my first triathlon?
I am taking part in my first sprint triathlon in June. I have started my training but need to buy a bike. I am female, but I prefer a man’s bike. Would this be appropriate? Can I use a mountain bike? Can you recommend a make and model? I don’t want to spend too much and may even try and source a good second hand model. Also I’m 5ft 5″, what size bike will I need? Thanks!

Answer by skblah
The decathlon was added to the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm[3]. After experience, the following order was chosen: 100 m run, long jump, shot put, high jump, and 400 m run on the first day; 110 m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, and 1500 m run on the 2nd day. The Swedes also developed a set of scoring tables, based on the 1908 Olympic records. After the 1912 Stockholm Games, the tables were updated to include many new Olympic records.
What is a nice gift to get someone who is doing their first Triathlon?
Question: What is a nice gift to get someone who is doing their first Triathlon?
Like if you’ve done one before, what would you either:
1. loved to have had while doing the triathlon (first one) but didn’t have it/one or
2. Anything that comes to mind that’s triathlon related 
My best friend is doing one next week and he seems to have every possible thing, but I want a little something to show I’m proud of him (he’s been training like a beast) and support his accomplishment.
Any ideas?
