Warm down:

Water bottle, wait for Meg to finish.

Event comments:

Small no-frills local sprint. Time trial pool swim makes for a long morning for a sprint, but that's the limitation of the format. I don't think a sprint needs finisher medals, but if you are going to have them, make them decent. Two years ago they had an icon with the name of the event on it, simple but unique. This year's for the adults ad kids was a plain triathlon medal with a spot on the back. No big deal, but my wife ad daughter were doing their first, and the printing on the back rubbed off instantly. Cheap. Do it right or don't do it.

At mile ten I heard a noise like I had gotten paper in my spokes or something. I looked but saw nothing but a few seconds later my rear tire blows out.

Are these races too close together to give me any sort of recovery? Will I be spent and unhappy racing back to back weekends and then again two weeks after that?

When I told my husband that I planned to work toward completing a sprint triathlon, he smiled and was supportive, but a bit disbelieving.

The challenge? The accomplishment? I want to do this because it is an opportunity to live life. The event is an indoor sprint triathlon. I get to experience the challenge on a safer scale.

This plan is designed to make you go faster. 3 workouts per week in each sport, 2 days of strength training and core work. The maximum volume is around 10 hours toward the end of the 12 weeks.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.

Since I didn't have much time and since it's a super sprint, am I OK just go to at the training relatively hard through Thursday or even Friday?
