How to train for a trip like this

The past month has been pretty much dedicated to preparing for this trip. I haven't found much advice on how to physically train for a long distance bikepacking trip so I came up with this plan myself:
1. Prepare for a triathlon (Jason and I are doing a sprint tri this Sunday) because strictly biking can be really boring in the same city
2. Try to average 2 of the 3 triathlon disciplines per day with the occasional rest day
3. Do some weights on pool days so your upper body doesn't atrophy
4. Alternate road biking and mountain biking
5. Play tennis if it's nice outside and call it "cross-training", play squash if it's cold
6. Eat what you want, when you're hungry. Sleep when you're tired. Train whether you feel like it or not

Pretty simple

Some highlights from my training have been:
-Tailwinds while bikepacking with Jason to Cooking lake for the night
-A long Sunday road bike-ride punctuated with multiple flat tires with real triathletes Andy and Jon
-Learning some triathlon swimming drills at Kinsmen
-Trail runs and running photography with Christina
-Riding Jason's motorcycle after completing the "Jason Ma Invitational Bike/Run" (adrenaline + endorphins = best all-endogenous high)
-Visiting Ben after a particularly wet bike ride and watching him squirm in the presence of my tight riding shorts
