Let's tri something new

The main reason I started to run was to complete a triathlon, a long held dream of mine and something I thought was out of my reach.  Well in 9 short weeks I will be doing my first sprint triathlon while I am also training for my first half marathon in September.  If you look up the word crazy in the dictionary, I am sure you will find a photo of me. Once again, I am relying on a running room clinic to get me through the running part but the swimming and cycling part is up to me. I swan as a youth and cycled in university but that was a long, long, long time ago and I am basically starting over.  I read on a web site that it takes an average person 6-9 months to train for their first mini triathlon, I have 9 weeks so enough complaining and it's time to get busy.  I have set a grueling schedule of 4 runs a week, 2  trips on the bike, one swimming session and one core workout.  I guess my first goal is to survive the training, my second is to finish the race.
