How do you build a race day nutrition plan? This advice is invaluable in building that plan for triathlon, Ironman or for that matter any endurance racing.

Why should you do 80/20 training? Because that is the best way to get to the race in the best shape possible and without injury.

Not allowing your body to adapt to training can derail your triathlon race before you even start.

#ironmantriathlete #triathlon #triathlontraining #overtraining #ironman #triathlete #injury #mustleadaptation #firsttriathlon #beginnertriathlon #firstironman

If you do this you will end up with overtraining injuries and be over tired on race day. You must include recovery, light days and low heart rate training to avoide these issues.

Cycling uphill in a triathlon is a delicate balance between how hard you go and how long the climb is. We have to remember that you still have to run off the bike and in Ironman that is more important then you can imagine.

Sighting the buoy is not the best way to go strait in your triathlon or Ironman swim. Sighting something large in the distance that lines up with the buoy is a much better way to sight the correct line.

In a triathlon or Ironman with Split Transitions you will end the bike in a different locations then you started. Pretty much the only difference is your gear will be bagged and not setup like a traditional transition.

I made the mistake at IMBR to get a hotel near T1. It was a 20 minute drive to T2. There ws no parking allowed at T1 and you had to take a shuttle bus. Had to drive to T2 in the morning and basically take the shuttle back to my hotel

Ironman and triathlon races are using SPLIT TRANSITIONS more and more. It opens up more venues to be used. Transporting the bike from checkin to T1 can be an issue if not handled correctly.

Exactly

When doing a split transition (t1 and t2 in different locations) you will have the clothes and shoe ect that you wore to transition. You will need to put them someplace to be transported back to t2. Here's what you do.

If you want to be sure to pack everything you need for your Triathlon the best thing you can do is lay the items you need into each sport and do a mock transition. Only pack items you will use on race day and nothing more
