As you grow with the sport, you will become exposed to tri-language. One I learned long ago but rarely used in practice was 'brick workout'. Simply, this is when you do one discipline, followed by another without a break. Your race will be an example of such a workout. You swim...then bike...then run. The most interesting (and useful) workout is a bike-run brick. You use different muscle groups for cycling than running. I cannot adequately describe the feeling when you hop off the bike and begin running...so try it for yourself. Three weeks before the September Hyannis Sprint 2, ride the 10 miles...put the bike in the garage...then lace up your running shoes and go out for a 3-mile run. Feel strange? Welcome to triathlon racing! The more bricks you can do, the less 'strange' you may feel come race day.
