White Lake Sprint Triathlon--novice
This 10-week plan is for the beginning triathlete who has competed in one or more sprint pool triathlons and is looking to complete an open water sprint. The White Lake Sprint is a great choice, as it is VERY flat. The water is crystal clear and the race is generally wet suit legal. Before starting this plan you are capable of swimming 2 times per week at 30 minutes per session, able to cycle comfortably for at least 45 minutes (outdoors, stationary bike and or spin classes) and should be able to run/walk for at least 20 minutes. You should be able to workout 30 to 75 minutes per day during the week and up 1 hour and 45 minutes per day on the weekends.
