Default Joe is training for a triathlon log

A little background first. I decided to start training for a triathlon on Oct. 24, 2008 (my 29th birthday). About 2:00 that day I remembered I didn't know how to swim and I didn't have a bike. But I decided screw it I could figure all of that out later. I bought the Total Immersion book and the TI DVD, and started to learn how to swim. It took a couple of months of practicing 4-5 times a week, and in December I started to be able to do 25 yards swims without fins or other helpers.

I bought a road bike a few days ago, so now I'm ready to start training for real. I plan on swimming Monday and Friday, running Tuesday and Thursday, lifting on Friday, and Saturday will be a bike and run day. With school and 3 young boys at home this is schedule is not set in stone.
