Hi everyone,
I am from Spain. I'm a beginner in this amazing world of triathlons. Although I have run several marathons under 3h15m, I have a MTB but I have never taken part in any race, my Achiles' heel is swimming... :( I should define myself as an iron fish... :D
Could you recommend me any site where to download swimming workouts??? I ought to improve my swimming skills before trying a tri.
I would also be grateful whether you recommend me additional sites related to cycling workouts. Furthermore, what do I do? Do I change my MTB for a new road/tri-bike or I go on riding kilometres with mine?
Thanks in advance!
Welcome to this awesome sport!
Sounds like you will smoke a lot of people on the run! I also struggle in the water.
Here is a link to a great thread discussing Total Immersion Swim. I would strongly suggest checking out this book ! There is a lot of good techiniques and some workout in it.

(sorry but I don't know any sites with actual swim workouts)
I would like to tell you try not to focus on specific workouts untill you master a good swim stroke. In my opinion you will get discouraged by trying a workout aimed at an experienced swimmer.
Another suggestion would be start out small. Try a Sprint Tri first to see if you enjoy the combination of all three events. Youshould be able to complete a Sprint tri with a mountain bike. Therefor, I would not make many changes until you decide if this is right for you. After you try a few and you love it, start sinking money into another bike or changing the set-up of your existing.
Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress!
thanks for your advice and support!
Have fun training your tris!!!
