4 Weeks!

There are only 4 weeks remaining until the Cville Sprint Triathlon. Which really means only 3 more weeks of training and one week of tapering. It seems so far away and yet not enough time to really improve much on my training.

Swimming
I've been doing 1000m in the pool about twice a week for the last few months. I may pick up a little time over last year, but I will only be able to tell in comparison to my relative standing since as a previous post noted - the times vary greatly year to year. The 1000m I've been doing is plenty since the actual race is supposedly only 500m, but I will need to be able to do 1000m for the IronGirl Sprint Triathlon in August. Therefore I need to start increasing my distance to train for that. In addition, all of my swimming has been in the pool. The local parks open this weekend for swimming, so I shall try to get some murky water swim time in soon.

Biking
I've only been biking about once a week. I seem to come up with all sorts of excuses as to why. The only good thing is the once a week is riding the actual course and thus really learning the hills. I have gotten better at them. I don't know how it'll compare since I've only been doing group rides. In addition, last week was my first time since getting my bike professionally fitted, so I'm still working on building the correct muscles. That being said, already it was better than the old set up I had.

Running
I've been consistently getting 2 runs in a week at 3 miles each run, but on far too many of them I've had to walk a portion of it. Plus, I have only run/walked the entire sprint run course once since last year. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get out there a few more times.

Overall
I know I'm going to finish it because I feel like I'm in good enough shape for that. I don't know if I'll do better or not from last year since I feel like each of my areas has lots of room for improvement. If I could do this training time all over again, I would've gotten serious about it much sooner and actually stuck with my plan of increasing distances.
