Day 1 of 20 Week Half-Iron Training Plan

Today is day one of my twenty week training plan that ends with the Half-Ironman Florida on May 8, 2010. I started out well with a 1000m swim this morning. I've got a busy afternoon, so it's going to be a challenge to work in my 45 minute run this evening.
Overall, my training plan will be 20 week for a total of 289 hours of training. Let's hope it's enough.

Afternoon Update:

Day 1 finished as a success as I did complete my afternoon run. The schedule called for a 40 minute easy run, which I finished, completing 3.5 miles. I was interested to see how this would pan out since afternoons have been busy with a 3 month old at home. All three of us went to the weight room together to exercise (baby boy slept through the event). The goal is to omplete all scheduled workouts, with the exception of Christmas day, when I plan to be lazy and eat like a pig.
