It's week 6 of 11 until your next triathlon -- you're at the halfway mark! This week is the beginning of Cycle II of your training. Here we're starting to introduce race pace intensity. FOR TODAY'S WORKOUT, SWIM: DISTANCE FREESTYLE: SET 1: 1000 (yard or meter) free. Swim every 4th lap (length) as a drill; alternate between fist drill and 3-count drill. Begin at L1 and finish at L3. SET 2: 3 x 600 free pulling without hand paddles. #1: Rest at 300 for 15"; #2: rest at 200 for 10"; #3: rest at 150 for 5". Make sure that each combined 600 is faster than the previous one. SET 3: 4 x 50 with 30-60" rest. Hold top speed on all 4 50's. Stretch 10' and do 5' of crunches.
