This is the end of my first week of triathlon training. Up until this point I have been laregly training for running events, with the odd duathlon and triathlon thrown in for good measure.
Its been an interesting week, just figuring out how I can fit everything in around the rest of my life. Its been a bit of a juggling act but, with a bit of time once every fortnight or so, I think I can schedule in everything. One thing its going to mean is that I am going to have to be a lot more organised with my life and I am going to have to run a very tight calendar to make sure that it all works. I guess that is an added element of discipline that comes into the whole exercise of training for and completing an ironman distance race.
This week I had 8 training sessions (including the 5 km race) and I trained for each of the disciplines 3 times (some sessions included two disciplines). I swam for a total of 1 hour 25 minutes, ran 1:25 (15km) and rode 3:35 (88km). By the end of this 6 week block of training I will be doing around double the amount of time each week in each of the disciplines, so I will really have to have my schedule in place. BRING IT ON!
