Thank you for visiting SwimStrokeVideo.com.
Here’s my brief history. My name is Carol Scheible. When I was 20, a cousin of mine started doing triathlons. I remember thinking “That sounds really cool, but I could never do that - I’m not athletic enough”.
Twenty years later I was overweight and out of shape, and generally miserable. I decided to make a commitment to follow a healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life. I lost a bunch of weight without any exercise. Then I hit a plateau where I could not lose any more.
So…I decided to start running. While searching for run training programs online, I ran across this great plan called Couch to 5k at a website called Beginner Triathlete. That old thought about how cool triathloning sounded came back to me …it was tucked away in the back of my mind all those years. This time, instead of thinking “I can’t do it”; I thought “I will do it!”.
After finishing the Couch to 5k training plan, I added biking and swimming to my workouts, and completed my first triathlon in April 05. I’ve since competed in over 25 triathlons and running races, and am hooked on the sport of triathlon and am fitter than I have ever been in my life.
My belief is that you don’t have to be lean, fast or athletic to do well in the sport of triathlon. You just need the persistence to keep tri-ing!
