DAY 1

So today I started the actual training program for the triathlon I recently decided to participate in. For all of you that do not know, I joined a Sprint Triathlon in order to raise funds to help find cure for blood cancer. A Sprint Tri consists of:
 
-  0.4miles of swimming
-  20 miles of cycling, and 
-  4 miles of running.

To some it may sound easy, but for someone like myself who was never into cardiovascular routines other than cycling is a huge challenge.

On to the training...

Swimming was not as bad as I though it would be. I focused mainly on breathing and did about  25% of the distance.Soon after I jumped right onto the treadmill and ran for about 1 mile. I then ran my way to the spin class room and hopped on a stationary bike and biked for about 5 miles.

Since I was feelin great (thanks to Optimum Nutritions Amino Energy) right after cycling, I ran again for about half a mile then did 3 Ab routines back to back for 5 minutes non-stop.

I actually feel energized as we speak. I was expecting to be very exhausted, but I feel good.

As days go by, I will be increasing my distance and speed eventually.

note to self:
Not only do I need to train for the Tri but also changing from my swim wear to my gym clothes... Not a good look lol.
