Subject: RE: can running alone maintain my tri fitness I think you can do it, especially if you put a lot of biking hours in while you're here. I would try to find a pool or open water area to at least do a few swims though.
I am in the same situation, actually.
I am going home to Russia for August and would like to do another tri in September. I am planning to bike like mad the first half of the summer. While there, I hope to be able to find a pool and maintain a couple swims per week and running a lot of course. Riding a bike is not an option because I am not shipping mine there and I don't think I can rent one, or couldn't afford it for a month anyway. Plus riding on roads there would be suicide anyway and there are no bike paths.
I am not really concerned though. I might not PR, but I know I can finish the bike leg in decent time by maintaining just running for a few weeks. |
