1. Swim/Spin Brick Another great pool and indoor-based session. This works very well for a time trial swim in which you’re going to swim at maximum sustainable pace for 20-30 minutes.

After a quick 5 minute transition, race to the spin class and take whatever the instructor happens to throw at you. This is a great “fun” early or winter season triathlon workout for you cold birds.
