Fight Training
Two-thirds of the time I mention this triathlon idea to someone, they say something along the lines of “I hear you get beat up pretty badly in the swimming part.”
Bearing this in mind, my tri training for the past two weeks has consisted of two one hour TRX classes and at least one Krav Maga class per week. I know I won’t out-swim everybody, so I figure I ought to be able to hold my own in this underwater Mortal Combat I’ve been hearing about.
Other than that, my training schedule has been mostly about avoiding injury. Seeing as how slow and steady wins the race, I will be going on four 2 mile walks this weekend, partly to get ready for that running portion but mostly to get to work and back. I might start jogging soon, and not just when I’m trying not to be late for work. I’m keeping my eyes open for a place to run that’s easily accessible and won’t require dodging regular pedestrians.
