I am in desperate need of some training/workout suggestions to prepare for my first triathlon in two months. The swim portion of this race is .4 miles.
While I am no stranger to the water, having swam competitively from age 11 through high school, I have not really been in a pool since.
Please Help! I have two days per week to train in a pool, but I don't have any idea how I should be training!!

Hi Nancy,
I'm really glad you got in a lake swim. Even if that's the only one you do, it will help, though I do recommend you try to get a little more open water time.
Did you try the website? Here's another one that might be helpful also. This one is very step by step, so you might be able to match up the timing to where you are now.

Keep plugging away at your training (don't overtrain!) and on race day, as Matt suggests, just relax and enjoy each moment. You will be very pleased and proud when you finish! (plus you get to eat whatever you want -- traditional reward!)
Keep us posted!
