I love to swim sprints in a masters meet but I also have enjoyed doing triathlons. It is very difficult to train for both. I'd love to hear from folks that compete in both masters meets and triathlons to learn how they balance training and competing in both.
I don't call myself a real triathlete but I have done 2 in the last year. For me, I usually swim 3 days a week. Then I run 1-2 days a week and I take spin class 1 day. I'm not good by any means but that is how I balance it all out. My main focus is and always will be swimming in meets, though.
Now my sister is doing her annual Ironman tomorrow in Lake Placid. :cheerleader: She trains for hours a day to get ready. But she doesn't really do masters meets any more. She has in the past but it just got too much with training for her main thing - Ironmans.
Your balance sounds like a great one. How many miles do you run each time?
Good luck to your sis!
