I've seen a lot of posts about this, but I'm not curious about whether its worth it to go. I would like to attend for the experience of something big like this. I qualified last year, but couldn't swing the cost and where it was located.
This is the second "season" (3 races in total) I have raced, completing olympic distance, and after my last race I purchased a QR prThree, with help and input from this forum. Each race I have gotten faster overall, with some ebb and flow in each discipline - mainly swimming. I had been on an old road bike and figured this would help up my game to some degree. One thing I am looking into is trying to get some swimming and input over the non-summer months as I have only had an outdoor pool to swim in during the summer. My swimming sucks and I want to work on my stroke and volume more. I do have a good group of runners I can run with, but no one that does tris. Occasional long runs and typically try to go to one run club a week.
Given that general back ground, which I know is not too descriptive of any ability that I may have, how have you guys structured your training knowing that you have a year for a given A-race? Or what would you suggest doing that you have seen gives good results?
