I am not a 57 min swimmer, but hope to get close to the 1 hour mark. I swam a 1:07 in 2011 in Lake Placid without a wetsuit and felt prepared to do a 62 or so in 2014 in Florida. <br /><br />On the bike I have been working on getting back to where I had been at the end of last year with bike intervals on the trainer. Just did one of my staple workouts this morning of 4-8x 2 1/2 min all out + 5 min recovery. Did hit my watts that I could hold late last season for the first 4 (of 5) but it hurt like hell. If I keep it up I feel by the end of February I should be back and ready to start the next phase, which is working on my FTP.The Complex Triathletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704113732471368070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047337315696255408.post-34796680935324949192016-02-08T22:38:18.052-05:002016-02-08T22:38:18.052-05:00Hey Jon.

My fastest 1K time is 15:08 and I went 57min at IM'A and 1:04 (in rough weather) at IMWA'15, IMWA'13 in 1:02. I'm interested if that is a real time. Also, do you follow a plan for building up your FTP? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
