Looking for Biathlon Training tips!!

Hey everyone. My friend and I are planning on doing a biathlon consisting of running and swimming. We are both beginners and are looking for any advise or training tips. We are pretty fit guys in the gym but swimming is entirely new to us. the distance we have to swim is about 8 kilometers, is this doable for rookies?

There are two forum members, that may be able to assist you and point you to information you may need: FlyinFree, and G8R80. They may decide to post here, seeing the title.


Wish you much success.


Peace.

Welcome! Are you sure the swim is 8k? That is a very long swim, twice as long as the swim in a full Ironman triathlon and too far but for the most experienced swimmers. Btw, a swimming/running event is called a duathlon to distinguish it from the winter sport.
