Part of learning to be a man is both keeping your word and meeting challenges.

You said you'd do the triathlon with your dad. Do it.

The training will teach you discipline and the race itself will test your mettle. You won't regret it, especially if you finish.

Once that is out of the way, focus on weights if that is your goal.

wtf? do both

You're 16, and seem close to your father. You're obligated for the triathalon, so lay out your interests to your dad, and explain why. As long as you make it clear that you're taking your triathalon training seriously, he should be more than willing to help with weight training stuff as well. Spell out what you think you need help with (gym membership, protein shakes, spell it out in detail how he can help), and I'd bet he'd be willing to help, probably contingent on continued or completing the triathalon commitment.

As long as you're getting enough calories, training for a triathlon is going to have practically no effect on your ability to gain muscle. Just eat a fuck ton and lift.

You are not small.

Lift. Find a good dojo and learn martial arts.

Your dad wants to have a bonding experience with you. Maybe take the class together.

Do the triathlon and then start your other training after. Just be clear to your dad that you love him, etc.

Do both. You don't need to be Schwarzenegger huge to look good. Just have noticeable muscles.

When I played football we would practice 3 hours a day afyer lifting. If you lift and keep your diet in order you'll minimize your muscle loss.

What do you think?

Maybe do what's best for you regardless of what others say??

An observation: serious runners look like AIDS patients. Serious bicyclists are usually ripped, but not that big.

Sounds like you know what you want to do. Sell the bike if you have to and just brush off what your father says.
