My First Triathlon Introduction
Welcome to My First Triathlon, a triathlon exclusively for first timers. Avoid the intimidation factor as you and hundreds of your friends take the plunge for the first time.
Due to overwhelming popularity, the 2004 My First Triathlon is being introduced to venues all across the United States. Athletes begin with an easy 1/4 mile swim at Como Lake adjacent to Galveston Island State Park, they will then mount their bikes for a 12 mile ride which is comprised of one loop starting and finishing at Galveston Island State Park. The bike course is pancake flat. The 3 mile run route is pancake flat with the only hill being the finisher’s podium at the finish line. The run routes take athletes out and back from Galveston Island State Park.
Grab a friend and start training as this race only comes once a year in Texas. The event is designed specifically to attract new athletes to the sport of triathlon. Many first time triathletes have gone on to compete in races around the world. Whether you are planning a career as a professional triathlete or just want to get a race under your belt and see what the sport is all about, My First Triathlon is for you. This is a triathlon you can only do once, and once you graduate you will be captured by the allure of pushing yourself to the limits.
Training for My First Triathlon is simple, it just takes a little time commitment. Jump in the pool, swim a few laps, then jump on your bike, ride a couple of miles and then go for a short run afterwards. If you feel tired, Stop. Go have a beer, go to work, watch TV, or phone a friend. If you feel good, keep going and keep increasing the distances week by week. If you get too busy with work, and take a few days or a week off training, so what. The key is to slowly incorporate training into your lifestyle. Remember Triathlons are fun!
If you follow a regular training schedule, you will just naturally get faster. Our simple diet and training program. Eat less food and exercise three times a week. Have fun training and we’ll see you at My First Triathlon…

Welcome to My Next Triathlon, a triathlon for athletes who want to compete again in My First Triathlon, but are not allowed. Avoid the intimidation factor as you and hundreds of your friends return to take the plunge for the second time to try and improve on your previous My First Triathlon time.
Spawned by the success of My First Triathlon, My Next Triathlon invites athletes back to better their time and see how all their other My First Triathlon friends are doing. The 1/4 mile swim will be along the shoreline at Galveston Island State Park. After the swim athletes will mount their bikes for a 12 mile ride which is comprised of one loop finishing back Galveston Island State Park. The bike course is pancake flat. The run route is pancake flat with the only hill being the finishers podium at the finish line. The run route takes athletes out and back from the same transition zone as the bike to run transition zone. The finish line is also located at transition zone 2.
