Program Phase 1

I've broken my training schedule into 2 phases. This week begins Phase 1, and will include competing in a local sprint triathlon through Boise YMCA. My training is based on an endurance training program by author Michael Finch in his book "Triathlon Training"(2004). While implimenting my own total-body resistance training routine!

This week's schedule is as follows:

Mon: 200m swim > Resistance Training 45 min.
Tues: 1m Run
Wed: 5m Cycle > Resistance Training 45 min.
Thurs: Rest
Fri: 1m Run > Resistance Training 45 min.
Sat: 5m Cycle

New Year, 6 months to train!

Today marks the day. I have been away from the post, but have been resistance training. I got a little light on the scale, and have been in a bulking-phase for the last 2 months to put on some mass before beginning my endurance training.

So far I've gained 10lbs. and am getting into the shape I want to be, with the new year marks 6 months away from the big date (JUNE 13th).
Swim training begins again tonight. Diet has been sharp for the last month, so will continue with progress there.

....look for more detail to come. Will be posting my exact workouts, my plan, and details of this adventure!
