After a couple years of "taking about it"..., I have decided
to attempt my first Sprint off-road triathlon this summer. I
have raced some MTB in the past (7-10 races from 2001-2002)
and have always wanted to try this, so I am biting the
bullet and going for it. In any case I have a few basic
questions relating to training. The only way I am able to
stay in shape at 37 is if I train for *something*. Can't do
it otherwise.
* Has anyone used these online/virtual training sites? Are
they worth the $? My training so far has consisted of a
mix of off-road bike(strength & passion), weight
lifting, & running(trail, street, treadmill). I'm doing
at least one, if not two of these activites 6 days a
week. I will mix heavy days and light days, and
sometimes even take 2 days off. My real weakness is
swimming and will no doubt be my primary focus for the
next 118 days or so until the event.
I'm not looking win (but, not last)....I'm just looking to
finish alive and want to be able to say I did it. I've got
until mid July to be my best.
