Subject: 20 Week Half Iornman Plan Hi Folks,
I'm about to follow the Beginner Triathlete 20 Week Half Ironman Plan. I'm hoping to do my 1st event of this distance at the end of Jan 2009 in Dubai and again in August 2009 in Belgium.
I'm looking to finish AND enjoy the event.
I'm coming from a background of several sprint tri in recent years and my 1st olympic dist tri this July in the UK.
I live in Qatar, so I'm lucky to have all year sunshine (+ heat, humidity, dust & sand ) & easy access to facilities ( a 25m pool & the warm arabian sea & an almost traffic free dual carriageway/freeway )
Here's my queries ...
If you have successfully followed the plan, would you do anything different next time ?
Any tips/suggestions for following the plan ?
Nutrition tips for heat & humidity ?
How should I continue training after the 1st event in Jan09 for the August09 event ?
Best ways to balance young family with an increase in training times ?
All replies welcome
Thanks
Bri
