Hey everyone,

I'm a college student and I usually only ride recreationally. I have a pretty strong base of endurance and strength, but recently my girlfriend challenged me by saying that I was not in good enough shape to participate in and finish a triathlon. (Not a full-length traditional triathlon, the distances are cut significantly.) I admit, I'm probably not quite there right now.

If I win the bet, she has agreed to buy me a new bike. But I need some serious help, as the triathlon is coming up in October and I am not in the physical condition I need to be.

What have you found to be best for endurance training when only having time to train in short intervals?

Lots of long distance running, long bike rides, and go to a lake and practice swing under as deep as you can and come back up then swim a certain distance and then repeat. Just a tip for running long distances, It's a mind set if you think your getting tired then your probably going to get tired but if you tell your self that your going to make the chosen distance you will and maybe go farther.
