- Plan assumes that (at the start), the athlete is able to swim 500 yard, Run 2 miles, Bike 8+ miles (individually). Have previously completed a sprint triathlon.
- For swimming, need Zoomers (short fins) or Fins, Paddles, Swim Buoy, Kickboard
- All swims through end of May are written for indoor pool. After May, at least 1 swim a week should be inside to work on stroke technique. Open water swims start June 1.
- Run & Bike Workouts are assumed to be done outside, but can be modified to be done on treadmill or bike trainer.
- Suggested that athlete uses Heart Rate monitor for run and bike workouts. In settings, use the basic 5 Zone HR settings. If you need help to figure out your max HR, contact Coach Maria.
Ideally, for these you are picking rolling courses that are similar to Island Lake State Park, the race course. Only exception is Bike Hill Workouts, which you should do on the most aggressive hill that you can.
