Checking in! Hope everyone is having a super week. I am still going back and forth on the olympic distance tri on July 11th... Should I try? Should I wait? I printed off the registration form but it is still sitting by the printer LOL! My husband bought himself a road bike on Saturday, I had such a blast on last weeks group ride around the lake, we saw deer and bison! It was a blast, I guess I rambled on a bit enthusiastically, so he is going with me tonight! I hope everyone is staying well and enjoying warm weather! hugs, keri
Should you do the Olympic distance race? Depends...
You would have not quite 8 weeks to train. You appear to have a pretty good fitness base, but I'm not seeing a lot of tri-specific training: biking volume looks good, but swimming and running look a little neglected.
You need to ask yourself: in these next 8 weeks, how much time can you put into each of the sports? Can you safely increase the volume without causing injury? Will you be prepared for a 1500m open water swim? (I think your sprint tri was a pool swim, so open water will be different. )
And it's great that your hubby has caught some of your enthusiasm! I hope you two have fun riding tonight!
