Calling all triathletes - current and former

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.

  • Elisa, I often like doing fly in workouts -- if I happen to be training with people significantly slower than me, changing "free" to "fly" is the simplest way to make an easy interval/workout much more challenging. However, be a little wary of the effect on your shoulders. Some people's shoulders can't handle lots of butterfly volume. I would ease into it. Rather than one-arm fly, I would suggest alternating fly/free by 25s, or something similar. Chris Thanks, Chris. I will try your suggestion. I am not quite the animal That Guy is!
