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 do triathlons along with the swim team too. What I normally do is go for a short run or bike ride in the morning. I then go to swim practice in the evenings. During the weekends, I usally do longer runs or bike rides.
I focus on swimming most of the winter, since that is when swim season is for me. I do less biking and running during this time- and more swimming.
During the summer, however, there are a lot less swim meets going on, so I try to focus more on triathlons.
I'm not an expert by any means though. I have only done 4 triathlons so far- this year is my second season.
This makes so much sense!! How long are your runs and bikes when you are doubling up? I'm thinking about trying this to see if my body will handle it.
