:-) :-)Hi Everyone,
I'm going to try my first Olympic distance tri this coming summer!! I've been doing sprints for the last three summers, and I think I can handle the longer distance now. Is anyone else out there doing their first standard distance as well? As for you veteran athletes, any suggestions on training programs, tips??? Thanks for checking in, and I look forward to hearing any feedback.
Sincerely,
Waterbaby

u did several sprints SO basically its similar to the programs u used for it...just doubled.  u can double the sprint distance here BUT for the final 13weeks before that, make sure u can get up to about 30minute swim, 1 hour bike and 30-40minute run before u do your lead up program for your oly...some tips to plan some training by following the 'no more than 10% per week' rule and the '1 ez week per month rule' should get u base building to your oly program.  more details at http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/sprint%20programs.htm  lots of others here can offer more specifics...different strokes, different folks.

also, look out for more training programs by january...another sprint, and oly and a 1/2im

I am stepping up to an olympic distance this year and after the first of the year, I will find a race to enter. I will be following the programs that will be coming out on the site around the first of the year, and will modify the program to meet my goals.

Still Tri'n
