zorzo z asked:
I will be doing my 3rd international (olympic) distance triathlon in Chicago next month. I'm a 15 time marathon runner, so I believe i have the endurance to finish. However, swimming and cycling have always been my weakest events. I always come in last place (~55 minutes) for the 1 mile swim because i don't know how to swim any faster. I also end up toward the end of the pack for the 25 mile bike ride (~1 hour, 40 minutes) because I don't know how to pedal faster. I don't have time for a trainer and I've already decided that this will be my last triathlon. Can anyone offer tips on how to improve my swim and bike times, so that I end my triathlon career on a high note? (P.S. My first triathlon was at 3:30, my second was at 3:55). Thanks!
