Hi Dale .. I would need to go through the data more thoroughly
the thing with the cycling is to get the spinning 'right' so that it is an aerobic session and that your legs are not 'unnecessarily' tired once you get off the bike
as you progress your cycle technique should improve and when you do a specific cycle session you get the benefits out of the session
for aerobic conditioning on the bike the higher revolutions and smooth spinning is best for the balance of the training
as you get the balance of your training right with the aerobic spinning, you are then able to further focus on the swimming, where it is similar to the cycling where you need to spend hours in the pool honing your technique to be smooth without 'much' rolling
you can keep the brick session for once a week on weekends
the whole secret (which is not a secret but is often forgotten) is to keep everything simple and to build things up slowly having the body become stronger and the athlete gain experience from the training
if you able to do this, then you able to become a better athlete or triathlete
all the best
