hello everyone,Wanted to introduce myself. I'm a rookie with a couple of races now. Looking for pointers and general advice. I have my first Olympic distance coming up in about two moaths and have the following questions:I can't seem to get my legs back off the bike. I'm doing 6 mile bike/2 mile runs to prepare for sprints but just can't get any consistency on race day. I only run 2-3 5k's a week so I may just need more run time.....thoughts on this....Secondly I was thinking of just doubling my sprint bike and run distance as my training base for the Olympic. I'll do the full swim distance with some sprint work....any thoughts?

Thank you very much for the thoughts.  Like I said I'm relatively new to all of this.  With regard to my fitness/training regimen its usually as follows for a sprint and I usually do the workouts over a period of 14-20 days out without missing:

5k road - twice a week over even urban roads

6mile bike/ 2 mile run brick once a week maybe twice

10 x 50 meter pool sprints followed by 13 mile stationary bike on intermediate  followed by 5k treadmill run once a week

I usually do sprints (350swim in 7:15 or so) 12 mile bike in 38-39 minutes and 5k in about 30 minutes

with transitions my time is usually around 1:20.  I know its not  impressive but I've got to start somewhere.....
