Hard is relevant. You can conquer hard with your training because a race is supposed to push you. 


However,  the swimming tends to be the most intimidating for newcomers. So, getting comfortable in the water is the first big step.

1.  Have your form analyzed  by a professional. This can help prevent injuries and pick up on weaknesses that may be hindering your full running ability. 


2.  Make sure all workouts have a purpose or goal. Junk miles don’t make you a better runner.


3.  Strength work is important to make sure your muscles and supporting structures are strong enough to take the repetitive pounding.

 Investing in a coach definitely has benefits!! These include injury prevention from over-training, focused workouts to reach your personal potential, time management of training with life responsibilities, and individualized plans that are directed by your personal goals. Training without a coach is possible, but can be more time consuming as you have to do the work, research and then be in charge of analyzing yourself or how you’re doing.

 Don't break the bank right off the bat. Figure out if you like it. The bare minimum you might even have laying around or can acquire with relative minimum investment.  You'll need a swim cap, goggles, bike helmet, a bike (can be road, borrowed or used) and lastly, a good old pair of running shoes!

 To start training, you want to have some kind of plan. It can be one that you found online or received from a coach. Make sure you have access to water - know the lap swim schedule! Scope out areas you can run or bike, it might also be a good idea to have access to a treadmill and bike trainer. Make sure you’ve had a physical or know that you’re healthy enough for exercise. Lastly, set those goals with a date and schedule workouts like you would a job or doctor appointment in your planner or calendar!
