My triathlon is officially 3 weeks from today. With 2 jobs and an internship, it has been hard to train as much as i would like. I have not lifted any weights at all, but i figure that is not near as important as the cardio endurance and leg strength. Here is what I have done over the past week:
Sunday: Swam 500m (20 laps) directly followed by a 4+ mile run
Monday: 15 mile bike
Tuesday: Rest
Wednesday: Swim 500m, 250m, 500m
Thursday: 45 min run
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 7 mile run (in 102 degree heat...bad idea)
Sunday: 250m Swim directly followed by a 12.15 mile bike (both are the exact distances that i will have to complete in the triathlon).
It sounds like everyone is trying to stay on top of their workouts, which is awesome, and hopefully it will translate into some fast boats next year. It gets harder as the summer wears on and the heat index rises. I've noticed that it helps if you set goals for yourself. This triathlon has helped to keep me on track. And after this triathlon, I am going to find some other races to compete in over the summer to keep me focused. It really does help you make it through because having a goal as far off as the fall can be difficult at times (at least for myself). So stay on top of it, and enjoy your summers!
