1st week of Tri Training Complete

Ok, let the Tri Training begin! I've set a training plan up for the Evergreen Lake Triathlon on July 17th, 2010. I've also, just by chance, got another olympic distance triathlon one week later, so which ever one I feel good for and the weather is right for, that's the one I'm going to put all my effort into.

Mon- Bike: Plan called for 1 hr. I went 1:23 at a distance of 22.92 mi. Just kept an even pace.

Tues-Swim: 1600 yds with some base intervals mixed in. Run: 3.14 mi with some 1/4 mi repeats, split paces were: 8:03, 7:56, 7:40, 7:43, 7:55, 7:34.

Wed-Swim: 1800 yds with some fartlek intervals. Bike: Went with the Wheelfast group: 19.66 mi in 1:04:02. Sprint at the end.

Thurs-off

Fri-Swim: 1600 yds endurance swim 300 wu, 1000 straight, 300 cd. Run: 2.1 in 21:33 Just a short easy run to loosen up the legs for tomorrow's half marathon.

Sat- Lincoln Memorial Half Marathon: 13.1 in 1:57:07. PR!

So far so good, I'll try to give more updates on my training. Next up for races is my Pioneer Sprint Tri on April 18th!
