Trying to keep up with you

Hope things are going well for you.

Any chance you can look at this and tell me if it is a decent program?

Thanks a million!

Teena -

Sorry I had not replied earlier to your comment. I just saw the comment this morning.

Any how, the tri training site you referenced looks really good. You may find that you have greater trainig capacity than what the program requires given your already significant aerobic base.

There are two other references I would point you too:

Total Immersion Swimming (www.totalimmersion.net). It will teach you the proper technique for endurance swimming. More than anything spend lots of time in the pool to develop an efficient breathing pattern and stroke. Come spring start swimming in a lake. Open warter swimming is a little different than pool swimming.

For a more structured appoach to triathlons buy The Triathlete's Training Bible. This program can take you from a novice to a competitive Ironman triathlete.

The transition from training endurance running to cycling is not too much of a leap. Get aero bars for your bike and train with the aero bars once a week. The aero position will make you faster.

You obviously got the running part down and this is probably the most important of the three since it is the last event and everyone's legs are tired by the time they get to the run. This is when you'll fly by them.

Now I'm getting the itch to get back into triathlons.
