| ebone: | 2 days x ~5 hours is pretty darn good!
You're doing a lot of biking but could use more of the other disciplines. Your HURT 100 fitness won't last until July. |

| ebone: | Maybe a good way to do this would be to have a heavy running and swimming (and lighter biking and inline skating) week followed by a heavy biking and skating week. I don't know if those are the best combinations of disciplines, but you get the idea. |

| FrankTheTank: | Hey, check your 4th Dimension email concerning a ride at Tiger this Friday (27th). Let me know if you can swing it. Coach ebone is cracking the whip :) |

| roschi: | actually for once I disagree with eric (oh no I di'nt!) but i can run without much training at all, and gigathlon will be roughly
run 3h bike 11h inine 1h swim 1h every day, so i need to bike bike bike bike and if i lose some time on the run no worries... i can do my wobble (12min/mile) even after 100h of racing... biking though is going to be key!! going for an inline tonight... maybe i ll change it to a run, choach bone! :) |

| ebone: | Wow--that's even heavier on the biking than I thought!
But still, being well trained in running, inline skating, and swimming, will allow you not to kill yourself on those sections, which will in turn help your ability to handle the biking sections. I agree that you need to focus most on the biking, though, with a 3-4 hour run every other week, along with a few shorter runs. And I still recommend at least three runs each week. |

| mikee: | Another point you should not underestimate is the swim. If you are tired on the bike, run, skate you can just slow down or even sit down for a few minutes, recover and go on from that. If you get tired on the swim you have no chance to recover, they will pick out of the water and then you're out! Especially the late swim on day 2, 3 and 6 you should watch out for! The highest drop out rate in 2002 was on the swim on the last day! |

| roschi: | You re right about that, I am sooooo worried about the swim on day three... its going to be possibly in the twilight or dark too since cutoff is at 10pm, and probably 14-16h into the race day... plus in a COLD mountain lake...
I am scheduled to get my wetsuit finally today or tomorrow and then I will start adding swims to my long workouts at the end... |
