P90X Triathlon
I just signed up for my first sprint triathlon! I have always wanted to do one and thanks to P90X, this is a perfect time. Now, do not confuse a “sprint triathlon” with an “ironman triathlon”. The sprint triathlon I will be participating in starts off with a 1/3 mile swim in the Atlantic Ocean, followed by a 9 mile bike ride, and it finishes with a 3.1 mile run. If you break down the swim/bike/run individually, it does not seem bad at all (maybe the swim) but I know completing all three of these activities back to back to back is going to be far from being easy. I have no idea what to expect as far as time goes so my goal is to maintain a strong pace throughout the whole race. Ultimately, my goal is just to finish but I am pretty confident that I will be able to do so even if I have to coast on my bike and walk to the finish line. I would be disappointed in myself if that was the case so my plan is to train hard to avoid that.
I am going to commit myself to the P90X MASS workout schedule until phase 2 is over. I am then going to shift my focus to train for the triathlon…this will give me 10 solid weeks of triathlon training. I have not finalized my triathlon training program yet but it will definitely be a hybrid between the P90X workouts and swimming/biking/running.
