HIM on little training

Triathlon Forum

Hey guys, I am training for the Racine HIM (july 23rd) and thats great. Im following my plan all nice and good and everything is on schedule… (i think/hope)

Well there is a HIM in Monroe, MI (in one week) and one of my friends on my team registered and cant go… Should i go in his place? I am confident I can finish the swim and do fairly well on the bike. However, my running training is the thing i have on the schedule to get back in gear for Racine. So in all expectations i would completely hate myself on the run. I realize thats somewhat the point, but this will be a different kind of hate.

As of lately ive started to get my run on and have about 4 weeks of running twice a week (6ish miles). So what do you think?

For the ppl that are like “why no running”… this is my first year on the tri team and I couldnt swim in September and i did not have biking legs… so i have been working on that and was just hoping my previous 10 yrs of running would just carry me when i got to the runs… That was a wrong idea, first sprint i completely died on the run and second i was poor but alright.

thanks,
Brad
