I spent the better part of this evening getting a training plan together for the next 33 weeks (countdown to Danskin). I’m going to be in the pool three days a week, and am going to build up my endurance in four week intervals, following a base, +10%, +10%, -25% plan to increase my minutes while allowing rest intervals. This plan is based off the 20 week Swim Training Schedule available free at Beginner Triathlete.
In other Tri News, I am super excited that D and I will be joined by my most fabulous sister in our journey to badass-ed-ness. It turns out sis has always had a secret dream to do a triathlon. Who knew? It’s already so much fun talking about all this with her; I can’t wait until we start training together too! Her awesome hubby is already designing t-shirts for the support crew to wear as we cross the finish line...something rather catchy (um, raunchy?) like “My wife does it three ways.”
I can’t believe how excited I am to start training for this. I think it’s because it feels like a real concrete goal. It’s always nice to get stronger or fitter, or get a bit more definition in the triceps, but this is a real leap into the unknown for me and my fitness. I’m going to learn two sports to do this, and there’s something just exciting as hell about the challenge.
