Subject: 1st tri swim training ???

So I have my first sprint tri in about 6 wks. I'm currently swimming 1200-1400 mtrs/session 3-4/week. Pace is approx. 2min/100(I'm following the 0-1mile in 6 weeks program). Am I on pace???, etc.

Agreed … your swim workouts should be more than enough. Try to get a couple of OWS in if your event is not in the pool. Make sure to read the “First OWS” threads. Even advanced swimmers can freak out in that first rough water swim.

Thanks guys, have a pretty good background on the other 2 disciplines and am maintaining training as well(don't want to put out an invite to Murphy and is crew); just don't have the trepidation of that the swim brings on.

which plan is this? ..can you post a link to it? (I didn't see it in the "plans" section of this site). I too am training for my first sprint in Oct and would love some swim-specific workouts.

I'm currently swimming about 3 times a week for 30 mins (not all freestyle.. back/side/freestyle/etc - just trying to move forward) - but fear this really isn't enough.

I am working hard at practicing transitions (bike for 11 miles, 5 min transition time, then run 5k) - got to work the swim in tho...

thanks in advance - Mike
