Virtual Tri

6km treadmill @ 9km/h
12 km exercise bike hills level 8
600m swim

A stamina buiding Virtual Tri - all in the gym - with each leg a little longer than I think April 22 will be.

The Gauntlet sir ?
How long did all that take you ? Do you rest when swimming or do you grind it out in one gargantuan 24 length effort ?

Running and cycling are about 40 or so mins each. I conceived a craft plan that I could do it in future while watching football or rugby with one half to each exercise.

I stop often in swimming as I’m working hard on and experimenting with technique.

I’d say the whole thing took around two hours altogether including faffing about going from one to the other. Getting changed into swimming gear and getting to the pool takes time.

I’m also wondering how you take a pee break on the real thing. I take in a lot of water when swimming that will need to come out on the run. I’m not sure I fancy an on the run widdle a la Paula Radcliffe.
