Re: Triathlete

Definitely do not lay idle in the last week. Do some fast/short sessions. Get a massage, hydrate lots.

Doing nothing is counter productive. You will eat (and think you are over eating) and you...

Re: Triathlete

Wouldn't worry about age mate, the young upstarts lack endurance. Your only as old as the man you feel ;-)

Re: Triathlete

It's a balancing act and very fine line when racing "on the rivet". I was maybe one bottle of gatorade instead of that water away from winning, maybe if I had that gatorade I would have still...

Re: Triathlete

Possibly, given I have not been training for that specific distance. Or going too hard on the bike, not enough electrolyte intake etc etc. Numerous reasons...

You won't :-)

Just need to remember the words of Mr Lemond. "It doesn't get easier, you just get...

Re: Triathlete

Had a mixed day. Disappointed with my time and placing but I learned a whole lot about racing.

Came 4th in my AG for the short course. Swam a steady 22mins, biked a hard 2h33 and was tapping out...

Re: Triathlete

I'm driving through early doors for the morning swim session then chill out all day. The family are remaining in Dubai. Leave me to my own devices and preparations. The wind is a worry, decisions...

Re: Triathlete

Basically a bike session, where I strive for a certain power (read pedal as hard as I can) for 2 mins. Have a short rest then repeat 8 times. Do again but pedal harder than you thought you can for 1...

Re: Triathlete

Same same, I'm usually at the autodrome on a Wednesday. Not tonight though, just had a 8x2+3x1 anaerobic session on the turbo. Can hardly walk. :huh:

Re: Triathlete

Forget all that crap. Running should be enjoyable. It isn't when you are forced to do it and you run above your current ability. Go for a short jog, nice and slow and build up the time (not distance)...

Re: Triathlete

Genuine offer here, I have a spare Trek bike that I don't use here at all.

I can't bring myself to sell it as I know back in scotland it will be handy for winter and hill training.

Re: Triathlete

I would say a wetsuit is compulsory for back home. Make sure you get fitted though as opposed to buying online. Really important it fits correctly. If it feels really really tight, then that's about...

Re: Triathlete

I'll be there. Trying to beat last year's time for the Olympic distance.
