Thanks so much for the advice! Swimming will definitely be my weakest. I have swam a little here in there in past, usually just for rehabbing an injury but nothing to this degree. I found a 50 meter pool near me just tried to swim 750 meters without resting. On Friday, I was at around 25 minutes which I think is pretty slow. I have read were it is helpful to find a instructor to help on form and technique, you think it would be worth it or just try to watch youtube videos?
The race I am doing will be in open water and I have not practiced swimming that way. However, there is a lake near my house where I can practice and get used to sighting. I think right now my breathing favors just one side, that is why I am thinking a few lessons could really help...
As of now my weekly training consists of swimming 750 meters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday; running 5K on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday; biking 10K on Wednesday and 20K on Sunday. Any thoughts on a training schedule? Does this look ok or do I need to make any changes?
Also, did you follow any specific diet leading up to the race?
Sorry for all the questions, it is great to be able to get some advice from people that have done this before!
