If any of you Tri-athletes do not want to cycle on Friday morning and prefer to run 10km instead with a group then come and join us at the 0m marker on the Corniche by Sheraton Park (hotel)at 5,30am in the Summer and 6am in the Winter. web site = http://dohabayrunningclub.webs.com/

Would any of you be interested in entering a 10km running race in Doha this winter if Doha Bay Running Club organized one?

there is 3 bike shops that I now of

Skate Shack being the biggest and most stocked

they are on salwa road between wholesale market and sportscity street.

Sportmart has specialised bikes and parts etc. they are also on salwa by ramada hotel accross from mega mart.

also there is a small sports store in the villagio mall that has some bikes and parts

I am a hard core triathlete - and considering moving to Doha - I train about 20 hours per week - I've trained in Vegas during the summer, and while the heat isn't ideal, it is doable. I also train in New York City, and while the traffic and cars are not great - I've survived so far. What I need is a stretch of road that is at least wide, if not quiet. I need to ride between 80 and 120 miles on the weekends. A loop of 40 miles that I can do 3 times would work - but I need a decent shoulder or a place that isn't too busy - Is there such a thing as a "country road" near Doha?

Is swimming in the ocean permitted? Can women swim too? Are there any lap pools? Maybe at the universities?

When I train I usually wear the typical tri-outfit - is this going to be a problem? What about for women trainers?

do you guys know where to find road bike shops here in doha? not to mention mechanics and parts...

i have a regular beach swim site but i get to be active only when the weather cools down... soon it will come.

sad to say my fitness level is at the lowest now.

i think my swim place is safe enough for road bike laps during early weekend mornings...

i really love to push ahead with brick works, let say swim/bike or swim/run... do you guys want to start from scratch as a tri-group??

Seems like we're looking for the same thing around here. I'm pretty new here in Qatar and I've been in search for a lap pool nearby where I can continue my training...or at least keep myself fit. After reading several posts here, seems like those that are easily accessible (for a fee) are hotel pools.

As for running, the only route I've tried so far is at the Corniche. I usually start near the Sheraton hotel and go the opposite end then back.

Biking on the other hand...haven't tried yet as I didn't bring my bike here. My friends advised me not to since it's not a safe place to bike - due to the hot weather and also crazy drivers on the road. Although I'm still planning to buy a bike eventually and look for a long stretch of road outside the city where one can go cover several kms during the cold season.
