Key sessions this week are a long swim on Monday

    Swim/Bike session together. The goal is to swim fairly hard then an easy cruise on the bike while practicing transition. Lake swims are the best but you can setup a transition area in your trunk and run out of the pool just as easily. Just like race day, remember to buckle your helmet before doing anything else--no finish times if you get DQ'd.

    • RPE 2. Do in morning or late, but not within several hours of swim/bike work.
