This probably will not come out right but it goes something like this:
Table 9.3. Mesocycle subperiod durations by age category.
Period Young Athlete Older Athlete
Prep (wks) 2-6 2-6
Base 1 4wks 3wks
Base 2 4wks 3wks
Base 3 4wks 3wks (repeat)
Build 1 4wks 3wks
Build 2 4wks 3wks (repeat)
Peak 1-2wks 1-2wks
Race 1-2wks 1-2wks
Transition 1-4wks 1-4wks

Yay for collegiate cycling! If I were you, I would recover a bit and then do base (heavy on the swimming and running) until your first race and peak later. Have fun!
My first schedueled tri is set for the beginning of june, but i plan on doing one everyother weekend till the middle of august. should i plan on peaking for the first race or wait till later in the year.
right now im on a collegiate cycling team, so i've been biking hard since november. My goal now with only 2 weeks left on my cycling season is to maintain where i am bikewise and start working on my running and swimming. If i've been running about once and week plus ive been doing all the biking, do i still need to start out doing a slow base phase in my run training??
