Honestly, right now my plan is to spend my summer running, biking, and swimming my butt off... since I'll have all day every day... hhhhmmmm....
Congrats and have a great time. I have really gotten hooked on the tris.
I would definitely say get a plan to follow, check out beginnertriathlete.com for some free training plans

thanks all!!
there is a tri club out here in West Chester I want to look into - if I can remember the name... i see the women at local 5k races and such...
I need to get on it... I'm slacking and starting to get pissed off... i'm gonna sit down tonight and map out a plan... hold myself accountable instead of telling myself i can do it later... we all know later never comes...
oh and if you want to deliver a good swift kick to my rear end... that would be ok too!
MTA: I did a 14/3.1 brick. it went well. I had some cramping. Wanted longer, but only slept 3 hours last night... was so excited about my workout I guess my insomnia kicked in! go figure!
Puttin' on the foil
Great job. Nothing magical will happen on race day. Doing these types of workouts will let you know what to expect on race day. Note you effort and the pace on the bike and run and make your race goals based off of that.
I'm not sure what the weather is like where you live, but cramping is probably a dehydration or salt issue. Make sure you go into your race and you workout well hydrated and the cramping should die down. Best of luck.
Don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'
thanks!!! I don't even know what my race goals are haha but I was happy with my times today - i'd call it easy.
I agree on the dehydration - actually I chalked it up to lack of sleep.
on a side note - I just rode to the store - yeah... it was only a mile, but damn that was stupid!!! haha
MTA: if I can keep some training consistency I imagine I'll do just fine!
so it was a 600m swim, 15.8 mi ride, 3.1 mi run...
1:39:58!!!! 20/132 in AG and 128/998 OA!!!
I got 3 hours of sleep. 8 total the last 2 night... and I have not worked out in the last 2 weeks... So that being said, i'm ending my season on this high note. Let myself recoup (as I think i've extended my credit way past it's limit) and then get myself ready for the spring season...
I LOVED IT!!!!!
Sweet! Wondering about the sleep thing. Maybe you're not drinking enough (alcohol).
haha
friday's late night was due to a birthday party... yup alcohol helped...
saturday was hanging out with a friend... a glass or 2 of wine might have made an appearance...
I was feeling undertrained so i figured "doing everything right" the couple of nights before wouldn't really make a difference! haha
so it was a 600m swim, 15.8 mi ride, 3.1 mi run... 1:39:58!!!! 20/132 in AG and 128/998 OA!!!
