Tri / Triathlon / Triathlons - do they float your boat?

Somewhere coastal by the look of their twitter as well...

@mrtea silly question perhaps but are you sure a half ironman is right?

People seem to think that longer distance race is the way to develop but there's serious merit in getting faster over an Olympic or sprint tri. It also doesn't require the same training levels...

I've just got the first draft of my IM training programme and it starts with a 16 hour week and peaks with one 24 hour week. I hope my wife doesn't divorce me :s

I'm not sure really… I just fancy a challenge and am up for dedicating more time to training. Saying that you might well be right, I have done three Olympic distances now and none have been very fast. The last one was Padstow and it was hard! Maybe I should stick to improving my Olympic times for the next year at least.

Do you guys set yourself some sort of maintenance plan for over the winter?
