last day to be lazy. take advantage. throughout this program, mondays are rest days...of course, you can shuffle them around to any day of the week but make sure you take advantage of them; your body needs it. also, throw a few lifting workouts (usually on running or off days) and ab workouts during the week.
all you need is a swimsuit, goggles, a bike, and a good pair of running shoes. Runner's Den on 16th st. just north of maryland is where i get my shoes. plan on spending about $100...it's worth not ruining your knees. those are the basic items you'll need to get started for training and the competition.
i'm going to recommend a few other items that have helped me during my last training program. a kickboard for some of the swimming workouts, an electrolyte replacement powder to use during your workouts and a recovery formula for after your workouts. I used cytomax for my electrolyte replacement and endurox4 for my recovery. both worked great for me. oh! also i mixed a scoop of glutamine powder with my recovery formula. again, these are only recommendations (especially if you are on a tight budget).
hope you're getting as fired up as i am.
