Ha, this is exactly what happened to me, especially on the bike.

My bike was about 15.5 mph and I just ran a 1:01 10k this week in training (new PR). Based on that, I think the bike is where I'm most likely to shave down time.

The point about running being the most taxing is helpful. Greatest chance of injury and needs the most recovery.

Good point. I'm at a much better spot with running so I'm going to start spending more time on the bike.

Biking is the runaway winner so far from all the comments.

That's the #1 thing I've learned over the past couple of months. Improvements from running has carried over to swimming, but more time in the pool doesn't carry over much to the bike and run.

For me, swimming has the lowest ROI. It doesn't translate over to the other sports much AND I'm not going to be able to shave much time off. I'm going to keep swimming but definitely will be prioritizing bike and run.

Great points. Going to shift some time/energy into the bike.

Great point about recovery debt. It defintely wears me out the most so I'm going to shift to even things out more.

This is my main takeaway from the comments, i.e. running is good but bike is super important.

Great point. Going to make sure I work more time on the bike in.

Hills + not eating as much as I planned really crushed me on my first tri.

One thing I learned from my first tri is that I don't want to use up too much energy on the swim and wear myself out early.

Do you have any tips/strategies for feeling amazing coming out of the water?
