My training is now in full swing. As I was searching the internet for a good workout plan for my upcoming olympic distance triathlon, I came across one beginner plan that looked good : http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=32. There is only one little detail, it requires more than 20+hrs. of swimming, biking and running per week. Do you really say "beginner" when you have to spend +20 hrs doing anything? Needless to say, I jumped all over it. The first couple of days have been somewhat rough, but the body seems to be holding up so far. My biggest worry has been, and still is, my bad knee. I have already managed to run 3 times in the last week, not bad. I have told myself that I have to be a smarter triathlete this time around, and not go out and run 9+miles to see if I can do it. This time, I have joined Rowe in her quest to get back into running which has kept me from going too fast, and too far.

My plan is to do an Olympic distance triathlon on July 18:th in San Jose (http://www.thresholdracinginc.com/metro-triathlon/course-description.php). Follow me in my dream of returning to the tri world and someday completing an IronMan!
