Triathlon training season is about to get into full swing. For me, full- on Triathlon training begins on Monday. If you are doing a Triathlon in the month of June your training will begin this coming week or the week after- for Tri's later in the season, count back 16 weeks from the date of the Tri and this will be your start date for training. If you are a first time Tri-er, I highly suggest taking the 16 week training route, and not the 12 week training route. Better to over-train than to under-train.
If in your counting you discover you have shorted yourself by a week or so, don't fret it- still start on "Week 1" of your 16 week schedule, and add intensity later on, as you get closer to Tri day. The missed week or so won't kill you, I promise.
Bicylcing Magazine has an article in this months issue called Bicycling.com: How To Survive A Tri... | Bicycling Magazine for those who have set their sights on their first Triathlon.
It's a short article and well worth the read. Just remember, your first Triathlon should be about COMPLETING the Tri, not COMPETING. :)
