WEEK 5, Day 7: 2-sport workout for 30-60 minutes. Do a swim followed by a ride, or a ride followed by a short run/walk. By adding time and distance, and NOT intensity, you improve your overall fitness, which is based on a solid foundation of base training. Each week you want to increase your distance or time by about 10% over the week before. And remember to keep logging your workouts -- you can use the ActiveRoute online training log just by going to ActiveRoute and clicking "Health & Fitness Log" under "Cool Tools." Today's bike tip: If your bike doesn't come with a water bottle cage (holder), buy one so you can carry water with you on the bike leg of your triathlon. You'll need it, especially if the day is hot. Alternatively, you can buy a backpack-style hydration pack like a CamelBak. These are nice because you can drink from them easily without having to get your water bottle in and out of the bottle cage.
