Triathlon training started
April 14th, 2010
I felt like I was struggling to make a start on the triathlon I am doing in August, so I have done two things recently.
1. I did a full-day triathlon training course last Sunday, getting tips and whatnot from some elite British athletes (including the head swim coach of the British Olympic team, no less!) – I realised during the day that I have a lot of work to do on my swimming if I think I am going to cover 1,500 metres (with minimal use of doggy paddle)
2. I have joined a gym near work, which has both a swimming pool and bikes, so I can get in lots of training in the next four months.
If you have any tips on how to prepare for a triathlon, I would love to hear them.

Hey Heath
How are you? It’s Philip from Bridge!
Just read your bit about the Triathlon, I’ve been meaning to do one for ages, which one have you signed up for? How’s the training going so far?
Talk soon, Philip

Hey Philip – training is going well so far – my body is hurting at the moment from a long bike ride, so that is probably a good sign
