I just want to highlight my training so far and some of the struggles that I have had. Currently I just have a Diamondback Sorrento hardtail mountain back. I will say that riding it over long distances is very trying and is one heck of a workout. I have a pair of under armour running shoes that I bought thinking they would help me run. I do not own a pair of trunks or any items for swimming. Needless to say I am preparing for the poor mans triathlon. I am the only one that works and money is something that isn’t easy to come by in my house.
I ride my mountain bike outside everyday for 6-8 miles if the weather allows for it. I try to run 3 or 4 days a week. I am not sure on the mileage but I run/walk for 30 minutes at a time roughly. I am working in the pool 2 or 3 days a week and right now I am really trying to focus on form. It is not easy as without a pair of goggles my eyes burn and I look like a burnt out hippie lost from wood stock.. Swimming is surprisingly more difficult than I thought although I think I am making decent progress so far. I just bought a pair of the Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 mirrored goggles so I think they will help out tremendously.
