I recently completed my first marathon and wanted to try something new....an Olympic Triathlon.

I know plenty of people who have ran marathons and were open to offering advice, however, I do not know anyone personally who has trained for an Olympic Triathlon. I am fairly daunted by the comlexity of it (have always been a recreational runner and cyclist.)

I have an incredibly busy schedule, but would like to find others who are training, for I think that will help me mentally prepare for this.

So, I guess my question is, is there anyone from St. Louis on here who can point me to training groups or events? Or just some general advice on how to beign training for an Olympic Triathlon. I have started a training schedule based on some online searching, but any suggestions/resources (ie: good books) to assist would be helpful.

Thanks.
