Most of you are a little beat up by now. Let's work a little triathlon CrossFit style, short and hard.

Bike 3 miles
Swim 500 meters
Run 1000 meters

The challenge will be to set up the transitions to minimize the transition time.
Share with us your total time for all three legs and your transition strategy.
We’re leaving the order of events to your discretion!!

If the triathlon community competed at these distances or shorter, the triathlete
would be a much better athlete!

And finally, for our athletes, today represents a day of active rest. Some rest, huh?

We routinely get requests for basic information on exercise science. If you own only one
reference on exercise it ought to be the National Strength and Conditioning Association's
Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning. The NSCA is a non-profit agency that
publishes several peer-reviewed journals of exercise science. They have no peer in the
field of strength and conditioning research. You are supporting this site when you order
your copy of Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning from this link:
