Run whatever distance you want but it has to be a set distance whether it be a quarter mile or half mile. Then create an interval....say 6 minutes....run it and say you finsih in 5:30 then you have 30 seconds of rest but always run on the set time. Do this 3 or 4 times

and each training session increase your time or distance

That makes sense now. It's a bit like a hardcore beep-test then. I sort of did that with swimming today. I will try the intervals next time I stay for track practice after school. Thanks for the tip

hey ive done a few tri's and what ive found helps is getting some of these
www.yankz.com
and for the 1st transition from swim to bike i would try using regular RUNNING shoes with those old slide in pedals with straps saves a tramendous amount of time. espically in a sprint distance like your race.
2 cents
good luck

LOL I can't believe a little typo like that screwed things up so much. Think I can get those laces at any major sports store like National Sports or Sportcheck?

I am going to call and check. It would save so much time because there is no way I am giving up my clipless shoes so that I only have to change 1 time. The biking shoes make up for time tying them tenfold.

I wouldn't worry about swim to bike transitions so much as the bike to run, it's a strange feeling on your legs (feels like you are running in sand). After you do your bike training once or twice a week just run a mile or two right after to get your legs used to it. I wouldn't wear socks for a short distance like this, a lot of people for the swim/bike transition leave their shoes clipped on the pedals and rubber banded in position to put them on as you ride, if you can learn this i recommend it as it is hard to run in clip shoes. I use lace locks, I imagine they are the same as "yankz", they do help a bit but not necessary imo. Good luck.

in longer races they would, but then again your only doing 9 miles(15k) and your transition will need to be fast. and getting slip pedals will still help and there probably lighter if ur into that

I am not quite sure how that would work. This is my biking shoe

I know what you mean about the bike-run transition. It takes a couple hundred meters to work the kinks out of your behind after sitting and pedaling for so long. Also I would be changing shoes twice, not running in my cycling shoes. I think I had better start doing to flat pedal training just to see how it compares to my clipped-in time.

Of course you wouldn't run in your cycle shoes, but you have to put them on then run from where your bike is racked to the cycle start, then when that leg is over run back to your transition area before you switch to running shoes. It can be around 100 yards in some triathlons so it is much nicer to run on your bare feet or in socks than clip shoes, but since those shoes are laced you will have to run from the rack to the start no matter what. I would still get lace locks or yankz and loosen them right before the bike finish, pull your feet out of them while they are still clipped in the pedal, then run back to your rack on your feet. Here is a semi-helpful video (i am guessing you aren't wearing a wetsuit for that short of a swim) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqYIfEN_bMo&feature=related
