So I survived my triathlon on May 24th. I actually came out of the water, but was able to go back in after a little coaching/support from Brittany and the "Aussie" lifeguard on the beach. I passed about 13 people on the bike and 2-3 more on the run. I wasn't last in my age group or overall.
Overall time was 1:30:19. I'll take it.
So now I'm into my speed and strength period of training. This will go until the first week of August, then I will ramp it up again for my "power" period of training.
I'm using beginnertriathlete.com for my 1/2 IM training plan. I've picked up at week 15 of the 20 week plan. My swim endurance is improving along with my technique, but I still need to focus on the mental aspect of the swim.
My next entry will include more detail about weekly objectives and periodical benchmarks over the next two and half months.
Still moving toward the goal!
