Season #1 has come to an End..Need Resource

Brownie28 - 2009-09-06 8:15 PM Congrats on all the success this year, sounds like a fantastic first year!

Regarding your question, check out The Triathlete's Training Bible, by Joe Friel.  I got it a few months before my first tri and I found it to be a great resource, but I think it's a much better read at the point that you're at right now: you have a year under your belt, so you have an idea of what worked and what didn't.  You're also at season's end, with most likely a full 6 months or more before your next race.  The book lays out a full season's training plan, from the base period to a proper taper before your 'A' races.  Now that you have a year of racing and are looking toward particular races for next year you can lay out a complete year of training (that, for all intents and purposes, can start right now).  It really builds your training plan from the ground up: what do you need to work on? How do you work your weaknesses into a plan, both weekly and season-long?  How long does each period last (your base, build, and taper), and what are the specific workouts you should be focusing on in each period?  It also discusses proper mechanics, strength training specific to triathlete's, nutrition...really, everything. 

Anyway, give it a look, I think it'd go a long way to shaping your offseason training plan and getting the most out of what, for you, is a focus on improved run and bike splits.

Good luck, hope you enjoy it if you get it.
