The one with a triathlon in a month

Ok so silly me signed up for a triathlon and woops time flies and it is now less than a month away.
On October 7th I will be competing in my first sprint triathlon and my training is well shall we say, not quite up to speed.
Running wise we are fine. I have been training for my next half marathon and I am pretty much doing alright with that. Now here comes the hard stuff the swim and bike.
I started off really strong with my swim training but do to LA Fitness ripping up the pool I had a bit of a stall, and bike wise HA.

  1. Good luck!! I would be the opposite of you....I can swim forever (due to 17 years of ultra competitive swimming) but the running would take some serious WORK! You can do it :)
