I’m going to do the Tri the Illini triathlon<\/a> on Oct 2. The only reason I haven’t signed up yet is because I need to time myself on the swim so I can tell them where to put me in the starting order. (For some reason, they don’t want a bunch of collisions in the pool.)<\/p>\n

300 m swim – short, but the pool is only so big
\n14.5 mi bike ride – ugh
\n3.1 mi run – ok<\/p>\n

The bike will be the tough part. I’ve been biking farther than that most Saturdays with the bike club, but at a slower pace than I want to be racing at. If it ever stops raining so we can ride to work again, I can use those to work on speed a little bit. Racing stoplights, for example. Or going out of my way a bit so I can hit the street with fewer lights.<\/p>\n

I’m following, sort of, the 16 week sprint distance plan from Beginner Triathletes<\/a>. Sort of because I’m sticking with my usual swimming and running schedule, which calls for more time than that plan does until mid-August, and my long bike ride with the club is longer than what’s on the plan, and my short bike ride is replaced by whatever commuting I do. But other than that I’m following the plan.<\/p>\n

And also taking tennis classes. Fitting all this into any given week required extensive plotting out with a spreadsheet.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
