You know, I've trained for 13 marathons and they've all been hard. Throw in that mix two half Ironmans I've done. Yeah, that was hard too. But triathlon training with a coach is a whole different ball game. Today I completed week 1 and I've got to say, I'm exhausted. I've done almost as many hours this week as I've done in peak weeks of marathon training. I am so sore I feel like I've raced a half or full marathon. I'm so tired I've napped almost every day for 2 hours and then slept 8 hours at night. I've been trying to pay attention to what I eat and keeping it good food, but holy cow am I hungry All THE TIME!!
If this is week one, what the heck is yet to come?

Very interesting! Definitely get the hungry all the time! This was a big hungry week for me. The 2-hour naps everyday sound scrumptious. :-)
Welcome to the reason that I've changed my plans. Well that and I need to sell my bike lol.
It must be nice to have a coach. I often wonder if I should get an actual coach vs. online coach or vice versa. I'd be very interested in your experience.
I'd like to do an Ironman some day, maybe join a group training program next year and aim for 2011.
It gets better. Just let yourself adjust. You will be amazed at how fast your get used to it... really!
GORDON! I gave you 5 hours and 45 minutes of training last week. You, dear, are going to spend that much time on one bike ride come July. :) You love it. All of it. And, you can't wait for more. PS - eat your vegetables.
More eating, more workouts, addiction to the workouts and an Ironman. :) That is what happened to me after training for a half ironman with a coach. You want to eat everything in site! and I love it!
