A few weeks ago Billy did his first triathlon...with minimal training. One of his friends asked Billy if he wanted to do it with him and so with about 1 month to spare, Billy decided that was enough time to get trained. Well....with our trip to Okinawa, Billy in school, life, etc. he didn't get much training time in. He went to the pool once. BUT, he thought that with playing basketball 4xs a week and playing softball that he'd be okay. 
I was really proud of Billy for doing it. He did a great job. He didn't have a road bike so used his mountain bike instead (which probably slowed him down even more b/c as he put it, "I was pedaling as fast as I could and middle-aged women were passing me up.") He had fun and would even consider doing another one....that is, if he has a road bike next time.

I've heard similar stories about trying to use a mountain bike in a triathlon. Way to go Bill.
