Lance Armstrong posted on Twitter that USMS Spring Nationals is "on his calendar.". How great would that be for us!?!!

One thing I have noticed about triathletes is they don't seem to work very hard in the pool or running. I don't see them huffing and puffing in between repeats. They seem to be putting in yardage or miles focused on survival, not intensity.
My training is geared towards open water "I-did-athons" where I can't lose sight of my primary goal ("Don't drown.") and bicycle trips.
Distance takes priority for both of these.
Triathletes also are focused on finishing. After coming in, say 63rd, in a half-Ironman , the next logical step is finishing an Ironman, not placing in a half.
They are more like mountain climbers than racers.
Aside: "Half-Ironman"??? What's the other half?
