I’ve always wanted to try a tri.
I’m a roadie and my season is ending but will start running to get ready for cross season. To keep me motivated in my training, I’m thinking of entering a sprint tri in my area in about 5 weeks (1k/14mi/5k). I have the biking down and the running will come along (but putting them all together is another story). I know my swim will need some help (it’s an ocean swim). I could probably get in the pool/ocean about 2-3x per week. I’m looking for a training regiment in that timeframe with a concentration on swimming.
Any advice, helpful links, books, etc is greatly welcomed.
i would swim 5 or 6 days a week if at all possible. get comfortable in the water and you will find your race to be much more fun.
