Welcome to your first half-ironman triathlon workout! During the first 2 weeks we'll be easing you into your training routine and getting you accustomed to the triathlon training lifestyle.
To quickly review the abbreviations we'll use:
A = Age Group athletes (folks who started their triathlon training at beginner level);
E = Elite Group athletes (started training at an intermediate level);
P = Pro Group athletes (started training with a solid aerobic base and race experience).
The abbreviations L1 through L5 mean Effort Levels 1 through 5, where 1 is easiest and 5 is hardest; we'll define each level more specifically on the day you do it.
Today's workout: swim at L2 (level at which short conversations are still comfortable). 400 free warmup, 100 dolphin kick, 100 breast kick, 400 free pull easy. Rest 20-60" (20-60 seconds) between efforts. Get a massage or take a hot tub or sauna. Feel proud of being sore and tired. Get to bed early!
