With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I am going to be doing a sprint triathalon at the end of june. It will be swimming 300 meters, biking 14 miles, and running 3 miles. I have never done one before and just started training today. I borrowed a strength routine from a tri web site that suggested lifting total body, low weight high rep. Does that seem effective? I also did the elliptical for 35 min (no pool available today), biked 7 miles, and ran 2. DOes that sound ok? I know I need to increase intensity/duration and add swimming but I don't want to do too much too fast. Anyone ever competed in one that can offer some advice/suggestions.
