Critique my workout plan!

Scubdup

I'm hoping for some ideas about my proposed workout plan.

I have let it get a bit stale, and I'm going off-piste quite often, so I'd like to bring back some structure.

Goals

I am training for fat-loss, better general cardio and specific triathlon performance, muscle growth and strength gains - pretty much the full spectrum of fitness ambitions.

Time and Equipment Restrictions

I have 30 minutes each week day to have to train at a gym (or in a park near to work)

I have maybe an hour to train each weekend day either in a park near home or running through trails i nearby woods. Both park and woods have some outdoor gym equipment - pull-up bars, dips, and a few others.

Proposal

Monday - 30 minute row on rowing machine at gym
Tuesday - HIIT/Metabolic-Conditioning/Glycolytic system workout at gym
Wednesday - Strength Training - Upper body (I've never split my training this way, but it seems popular)
Thursday - ???
Friday - Strength Training - Legs
Saturday - Swim 3 x 400m
Sunday - 5km run

it doesn't seem like much training time for a Tri?

It's all I've got unfortunately. I completely accept that with such limited available time, and such a broad range of fitness targets, my progress in any one particular fitness endeavour - such as triathlon performance - is going to be slow: both in absolute terms; and also relative to the progress I could make if I focused purely on one goal exclusively.

Thursday: rest day. Even if you split workouts up, some days cardio some strength, you still need rest days.

Other than that, looks good to me (not a trainer or expert).
