MRRC triathlon (Munich Road Runners Club)

The mrrc triathlon on 27 May 2007 will be my first so looking for someone to potentially train with. Any tips would be very welcome!

Do you have a link for that? I did this one a couple of years ago. But, I hate swimming so I will never do it again.

Hmm, that is tempting. I was thinking of doing Erding as my first one.

If you want anyone to cycle or swim with send me a pm (unless you are super-speedy, then I might be too slow). I'd certainly like to get out on my bike this coming weekend.

For the less-than-enthusiastic swimmers, there is a short fun Triathlon in September (beginning) that is a rollerblade, bike and run. I'll be doing that one because I just HATE to swim - not that I'm that much better on my skates, but at least I won't drown.

It's called the Skateathlon and it's at the Ruderregatta in Oberschleissheim on Sept 8. I'll find the link if anyone is interested. It's just for fun.

Yeah, please send the link to the Skateathlon. It seems to me that it's been in July before?

It's September 8. They have a few categories - one for fun and one for more serious people. I'm not out to win or anything, I just like to do them for fun with a group of people. Last time I did one, a poor woman was pushing her bike on the course because her chain had fallen off. So I stopped and put it back on and then we rode to the finish together. That's what's it all about for me. Fun!

Hi KitKat,

If you are looking for fun check out the 5 KM charity run in English Garden. There will be Food, Beer and music afterwards.

hey folks,

i'll take part on this triathlon. It's my first one after about a 6 year break of this kind of sport. Now being about 12kg heavier and older it'll be interesting to get through. anyway if somebody fancies a swimming session, i usually train mon/wed/fri evening after work in the olympia swimming pool - think it's the best pool in town ;-)

anyway who else is participating in the race?

Hey, have fun. I did this one 3 years ago, but, I really hate swimming and the swimming part in the Olympia pool was like swimming in the ocean during a hurricane (OK, not that bad). Other than that, it was fun, even though I didn't finish (my chain broke on my bike about 15km into the bike leg).

I'll train with you Kate - woops! Too late the triathlon's over. Maybe next time!
