Training for triathlon

emmabeckemeyer1

I did my first sprint triathlon in 5 years last month. I had trained pretty hard and did well but still have a long way to go.

I am doing another triathlon middle of September but a Olympic distance this time. Any suggestion or tips for training?

I have lost 47lb in my training and hope to drop at least 15lb more between now and middle of September.

I always like Gale's plans: http://www.amazon.com/Training-Multisport-Athletes-Ultimate-Velopress/dp/188473782X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311716572&sr=1-2

modified to fit your needs of course. I try to spend the most time in my weakest discipline. For most ppl, that would be swimming. For me, it's biking.

Thank you I'll go check it out! My weakest is biking as well!
Swimming is my strongest...I wish it was longer!
