Thanks Susan. No I don't have a training plan. I need to figure something out. 10 years ago I didn't follow any particular plan but, that was 10 years ago and my body could adapt better The first Tri I did I did not train at all for the swim...prior to that tri the last time I had gone swimming was 8 years earlier. So the swim portion of course was the tough one to deal with. I will glady take any suggestions. Feel free to PM me if you want. Sorry to hijack.
