No, I had some classes with this cat that did them a few semesters ago and he kind of got me interested in them but I was a bit reluctant to invest the time and money into it (mostly the money) I have done a couple of 5k runs. But I deciced that this would be the year to make the leap. I am using one of the training guides from begginertriathlete.

SCT's Triathlon Training, Sponsored by Controlled Labs

Once I finally got to the gym, after my snow adventures, I found that I was one of about only 10 people crazy enough to go to the gym in this weather. I walked around a bit enjoying the silent nature of the gym. You know, the gym is really a thought provoking place when it isn't all hustle and bustle. After changing into my swim gear I hit the pool for a short training session:
300 warmup (6 laps)
50x4 kickboard drills (4 laps)
50x4 sidekick drills (4 laps)
50x2 Catchup drills (2 laps)
50x2 Fingertip drills (2 laps)
100 cooldown (2 laps)
Total: 20 laps
Monday I will begin doing distance work twice a week and drill work only once per week. Also, depending on the snow I will hit up the gym tomorrow for running and lower lifting. However, since I've trained 5 days this week it is an optional day.

VERY COOL SCT!
As I said in a PM to you I am VERY proud of what you are accomplishing already!
You sure had a lot of people concerned about you and I know I speak for all of us WAY TO GO BUDDY!
I am doing a triathlon in 2 weeks! You have inspired me to maybe do a log myself.
Good luck!

Good News!
When I began my triathlon trianing I applied for sponsorship under a few of the multisport companies out there. I expected to receive either decline notifications or no responses at all. Much to my suprise this was in my e-mail this morning:

I see on your weight training you are using 15 rep sets. What kind weights are you using, I mean is that 15reps to failure or on a weight you fail on like 20repsDont ask for a light load, Ask for a strong back,and also some huge biceps while your asking.

Sweet that was my plan, I went to a tri forum and those cats didnt seem to know much about nutrition. I was planning on a 40/40/20 as a base and maybe adding in more carbs on the long training days if I felt like it was needed.Dont ask for a light load, Ask for a strong back,and also some huge biceps while your asking.

I almost went with a 35/45/20, but I didn't want to drop the protein at all.

March 9th, Sprint Training
Wow, back to back blogs you say? Oh hell yes.
Today was a bike day and all I had planned was a 7 mile bike and then some light walking. However, due to a massive influx of energy/stamina/focus, I did more.
Bike:
7 miles, 20 minutes 19 seconds
Swim:
18 total laps (1/2 mile)
Distance work (450 solid)
Drill work (450 broken up)
I felt awesome and again I wish I would have had more time, because I'm just on fire lately.
Again, laptop is down for now so I am working on the PC and I hate it so the logs will be brief.
