Father of Six

I’m think about officially registering for a triathlon out in Parker. The date of the event is September 9th and it is a sprint variety tri - 500 yd swim, 13 mile bike, and 3 mile run. So … six weeks before the event and I think I can do it now if I had to. I would like to train pretty hard over the next four weeks, then taper for two and then do the race.

I did a 2500 yard workout this morning - 500 yd warm-up, 3×500 easy, moderate, fast w/15 seconds rest, then a 500 yard cool-down. I think I did 4 of the 5 500’s in 10:30 to 10:45. There wasn’t any difference between the warm-up, easy, moderate and cool-down. I did the fast 500 in about 9:15. My total time for the workout was 54:46.
