Subject: Where to begin? Hi,
Great website! I have become interested in tri's because of a running injury. Ran competitively in college and decided to try running again after having kids. Got to 65miles a week ran a few decent races 9:50 3k 16:57 5k but suffered a back injury. Relegated myself to the pool with aqua jogging workouts at first and then started laps. I hadn't swam in about 20 years but wanted to try a workout and on the board at our pool I saw 20x100 so I tried that. Took me 40 minutes (maybe 25 second rest in between? ) and I felt pretty good minus my arms being sore the next day. Swimming has helped me recover but more importantly helped me realize that since I am injury prone having three focuses is probably better for me overall. I haven't biked in a long time but plan on breaking out my old mountain bike now that the weather is warm.
I don't have any specific races in mind but I like to train and I like competition so any suggestions as to the best way to formulate my "game" plan would be much appreciated.
Best of luck in training
