Now I am a lost triathlete

well, if u just wanna maintain, go back to month 3 (the month before your race) and u can repeat that OR repeat month 4, week 2 (highest volume) for weeks 1, 2 and 3 and build in a ez week for the last week of the month.  this will maintain your volume and u can use it for more specific training like speed, hills, etc...a few articles have been written on the bike and run for intervals, repeats and hill training, u can find them in the directory.

then when u have another event, repeat month 4 of the sprint programs a month away from your race. 

just my suggestions, they are probably many more options to retain volume, get faster and keep things interesting.

I finished my first Sprint in April. Then I set a goal of an Olympic Length in the fall. which gives me 4 -5 months to train. so now I'm working toward that. Depending on your training availability, I would go for a longer race in the fall. I see it like this... use the time you have to train  to your advantage, I can now run for 60 minutes, Bike 2 hrs , Swim 1500K , which I thought was unachiveable 3 months ago. So now I'm in a good position to do a sucessful tri later this year.  However, 2 hrs is about the most I'll be able to train on a given day. That make it hard for me to progress to the next level.... say 1/2 Ironman. So at then I make the decession to get faster of find alternate ways to get the training I need for a longer race.

If you have limited training time or just want to stick with Spint Tri's. then I would work on getting faster in your trouble spots.

It's nice to have a goal to work toward though.  It really makes the training meaningful...

Lastley, doing the training for a Spint Tri is going to put your in a fitness level that 90% of the population will never achive. Feel good about that and stay active!!!

Thanks for the encuragement. I have checked the local scedual and as it turns out the next 2 events that are practical for me are both Olyimpics. I have 9 weeks til the first one. This will be a little aggressive to train for, but the hard part is selling my wife on both events. If I can do that the training should be easy.
