I am using one of the plan on beginner triathlete, I bought a membership just so I could have access to all the plans. The training is taking a toll physically and mentally, but I know I can handle it for 14 more weeks.

No coach for me after buying those Sram wheels, but so worth it!

Swimming is my weak point as well, I'm going to switch up my swim training a little. Two of my swims I'm going to do short sets with drills to focus on my form and pull and such, and do the one endurance swim. 3 swims a week.

 I am no expert on swimming, and my tri results prove that :)  but I can tell you the biggest improvement I saw in my swim was when I started using the paddles.  It just got me to understand my form better, built up strength a lot and in general gives a great workout.  I highly recommend.

I can try some paddles out. I bought my own pull buoy and doing drills with them seems to have helped. I am also looking to get a swim MP3 player, swimming is very boring to me, so I could really use some tunes in the water.

My strength training has really been slacking the past 2-3 weeks. I need to figure out a way to work it in. My kids are 2 and 4, and I go to school full time, so sometimes it seems that there are not enough hours in the day, especially when I have 2 training sessions a day swimming, biking, or running.

 I haven't done a decent lifting workout in weeks.  There just is no time or energy I think as the IM training volume gets up there.  I plan to just focus on lower back and abs, and maybe do a full body high rep routine during lower volume cycle weeks.

 No running or official workout today.  Still taking it easy from my 25K on Saturday.  Took the day off from work (planned) and it was a gloriously sunny day, so my wife and I did a ton of yard work.  Got all the beds planted and mulched around the house.  Place looks great.  It was just great to be outside and moving all day.  Pain in my left leg from the ITB issues are pretty much resolved.  I've been doing the foam roller, iceing, and it's feeling pretty good.  Will likely do an easy 3-4 tomorrow.  Run ON!
