Pour a glass of wine! I guess the first thing we need to know is when applications for the event open up, so, I've signed up to the mailing list at Durty and they will send me information and the required notification.
Next, how does one train to be a triathlete? Pull up a chair and surf the web - "how to train for a triathlon". I'm guessing I'm not the first person to ask this question as there are about 2,420,000 results. Fortunately, just a couple of results down gives me the Beginners' Triathlon Training Schedule which proclaims to take me from a beginner to triathlete in just 8 weeks. It appears then that just under a year is going to be plenty of time!
However, I feel that I'm not quite at the beginner stage yet so hubby has suggested that we take the training schedule and re-write it to fit in with our work schedules and so that we get the best value from our sessions in the swimming pool. This is a shame as Week 1, Monday and Tuesday were both rest days - I thought this was an excellent way to start training!
We will be self-training so a spreadsheet has been set-up to show the date, discipline, duration of exercise and route. Hopefully, when the routes are repeated we should see an improvement in the time - this is the theory anyway.
Back to work tomorrow, I wonder if hubby will allow Monday to be a rest day. Watch this space ....
