So You Want To Train for Your First Triathlon

For anyone triathlon-curious but convinced it's too complicated, too expensive, or only for people with fancy bikes and a suspicious amount of free time… this one's for you. Amanda, Nic, and Morgan to talk through what it actually looks like to train for your first triathlon, especially if you're starting with a sprint or Olympic distance. They get into what makes triathlon feel intimidating, why shorter races are usually the smartest entry point, what kind of fitness you actually need to get started, and how little gear you truly need to toe the line. They also talk through common beginner mistakes, the reality of training for three sports without turning your whole life upside down, and why the swim deserves respect even if the rest feels approachable. It's a practical, low-BS conversation for anyone who wants to try something new without getting swallowed whole by the chaos, cost, and culty corners of endurance sports.
