You're right, and I very much acknowledge that. I'm devoting my serious training to TT work. Quite honestly, I'm pretty average at the TT compared to our cycling and tri club members so I'm truly looking to make that exceptional. My run is strong and my bike can clearly become strong. Right now, my swim is weak. (No longer terrible, but really weak.)
So my program has looked like 4 swims per week. Two of them are maximizing my consistency and stroke mechanics so 2-3 circuits of 100m, 75m, 50m, & 25m. Two are 10x50 on 1:30. And I'm gradually gaining endurance.
My running is consistently twice per week: one day of 10x150m or 10x400m hills and one LSD day, typically 9-11 miles.
My biking is...inconsistent. So I'll probably be doing the workout I got from the 33 (the hill intervals). But I'm still looking for something to do on the flats (without a power meter or HRM). Ideas?
