2013: Tri-ing something new

[marathondan]

I think that training for a triathlon requires too much time although it must be very good for the whole body since you use a lot of muscles.

Well, I cut it down to the bare minimum, only 4 sessions a week, but even that was too much for someone like me who really only likes to train a few hours per week.

The low impact was certainly good for my joints. I don't think I'd even reached the level of swimming where I was getting a good upper body workout, but that would have come in time. And the "brick" (bike+run session) is a spiritual experience akin to the long run.
