Status update -
Did all 3 parts of the triathlon distance over the weekend. Here's where I am at:
-Bike - 9.3 miles - I did this on a stationary bike. The good news is that one of my neighbors is SUPER into biking, and he helped me fix my own road bike up, so now I can get out on the road and race the course. It took me roughly 30 minutes, but once again, I don't trust the stationary bike to mimic distance traveled. I bike well, so I expect to average 18 MPH for the race. Just a hair faster and I am where I want to be - 30 minutes for the bike section.
-Run - 2 miles - I came up short. I ran at 7.5 mph for 2 miles, and I was pretty tired. That's 8 minute miles, which is slow, but I just came off of the bike. I think that I can do it on race day at that pace. That's the goal. Of course, I did this out of order as compared to race day, which goes swim--bike--run.
-Swim. Went to the pool with my daughter and wife, and snuck out to do laps. Got in all 500 meters, but it was UGLY. I definitely have to work on my technique more, but I was rusty.
Going to try to go to the course this weekend and do the whole thing at once, then I will spend the last month shoring up my weaknesses.
