    After my pity party to myself last week (I attribute it to stress of work/finals and have moved on) this week is going to be a better week.

    This week my goal is to realize that 4:30am does exist on my clock and get out of bed to fit in a morning workout. Got it in already this morning (YAY!!)!

    Monday - AM Swim (DONE YAY!!!), PM Bike/short run
    Tuesday - AM Run, PM Swimming Lessons
    Wednesday - AM Swim, PM CrossFit
    Thursday - AM Swim, PM REST
    Friday - AM Swim, PM Brick
    Saturday - Run
    Sunday - AM Bike, PM CrossFit

    I see some of you doing strength training. Can I still fit in some heavy strength training 3 days a week training for a sprint tri? An example of a week for me will be:

    Monday - Swim 20mins, Run 25 mins
    Tuesday - off
    Wednesday - Bike 30
    Thursday - Run 25
    Friday - Swim 35
    Saturday - Off
    Sunday - Bike 45

    I could do weights on at least one of the off days. I know my training is not too hard core compared to most of you's, but I wondered what are your guys' experience with doing strength training and tri training. Thanks so much!

    Yes you could still lift heavy training for a sprint. I think that is the only distance that you can max out your potential tri wise and still dedicate yourself enough to lifting where you can progress.
