Question: What are some tips for a beginner training for a triathlon?
Doing a triathlon is my new year’s resolution?

Answer:

Answer by Laura
I am a triathlete and when I was first getting into triathlons I looked for a local training group (they are everywhere). In these training groups you are around other beginners as well as ironman finishers. The groups usually have somewhat experienced athletes that help you learn all about how to train and nutrition. If you find out you are really serious about triathlon I would look into getting a coach you do have to pay a little more than if you went with the group but it is worth it.

Question: What are some easy ways to reduce drag/improve speed on a 25K triathlon ride?
I am competing in a triathlon and want to know if there are some lesser known tips for increasing aerodynamics/reducing drag during the race. I have a Rudy Project Super Comp helmet, aero bars, flat-spoke wheels, no water bottle, pedal clips, absent granny gear, etc. What else?

Answer:

Answer by clambacke
I think an optimal body position gives you the best bang for the buck. The triathlon is decided during the running stage, don’t worry to much about the bike ride and I would keep the water bottle.

Question: here are some good jokes?
This fella was celebrating his 50th birthday.
So some friends from work took him to this great restaurant to celebrate his 50th birthday.
While sitting at his table, the waiter aproaches him to take his dinner “order”. This birthday boy says,
“I’ll have a thick steak and all the fixings to go along with it.”
The waiter asks him if he’d care for a bowl of soup with his dinner and this fella says, that sounds “good”.
The waiter goes back to the kitchen and after about 45 minutes returns with the ordered bowl of soup, but the birthday boy that ordered the soup noticed that the waiter had had his thumb in “his soup” during his return from the kitchen.
The fella that is celebrating his birthday looks at the waiter and says, I don’t want “that soup! cause he did’nt know where that waiter had his hands last.
The waiter leans down and asks this fella, you see this cut cut on my thumb and the guy says yeh. Well my doctor told me to keep my thumb in a “warm,moist place” so it would heal quick.
The guy looks up at him and says, why don’t you shove it up your ass and the waiter says, I DO !, when I’m in the kitchen!!.

A woman was having an affair while her husband was at work. One day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband’s car pull into the driveway.
“Oh My God – Hurry! Grab your clothes,” she yelled to her lover. “And jump out the window. My husband’s home early!”
I can’t jump out the window!” came the strangled reply from beneath the sheets. “It’s raining out there!”
“If my husband catches us in here, he’ll kill us both!” she replied.
“He’s got a very quick temper and a very large gun! The rain is the least of your problems!”
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the window!
As he began running down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he had run right into the middle of the town’s annual marathon.
He started running along beside the others about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to “blend in” as best he could.
It wasn’t that effective!
After a little while, a small group of runners, who had been studying him with some curiosity, jogged closer.
Do you always run in the nude?” one asked.
Oh yes” he replied, gasping in air. “It feels so wonderfully free having the air blow over all your skin while you’re running.”
Another runner moved alongside. “Do you always run carrying your clothes under your arm?”
Oh, yes” our friend answered breathlessly. “That way I can get dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!”
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and queried. “Do you always wear a condom when you run?”
“Only if it’s raining

Answer:

Answer by j.lawrence@y7mail.com
It can be anything as long as it says that you’re supporting him.

Like …

“Go DAD!”
“You’re the MAN!”
“You can do it!”

Or it could be something a bit related to it like..

“Don’t stop running!”
“Keep it up!”

Don’t stop running would be good. Haha. You wouldn’t want him too.
