Swim (level 2)

WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST OLYMPIC-DISTANCE TRIATHLON WORKOUT! During the first 2 weeks we'll ease you into the training, allowing your body to adapt to the patterns of regular work-outs, and get you accustomed to the triathlon training lifestyle. To quickly review the abbreviations we'll use: A = Age Group athletes (folks who started their triathlon training at beginner level); E = Elite Group athletes (started training at an intermediate level); P = Pro Group athletes (started training with a solid aerobic base and race experience). The abbreviations L1 through L5 mean Effort Levels 1 through 5, where 1 is easiest and 5 is hardest; we'll define each level more specifically on the day you do it. Today's workout: swim at L2 (level at which short conversations are still comfortable). 400 free warmup, 100 dolphin kick, 100 breast kick, 400 free pull easy. Rest 20-60" (20-60 seconds) between efforts. Get a massage or take a hot tub or sauna. Feel proud of being sore and tired. Get to bed early!
