My Forum

I do it because I need a focus, a reason to get out and do something, and since I've been training regularly, I find it an excellent way to relieve stress.  Colleagues go for A beer, I go and exercise. 

Took a year off from Tri in 2012 to see if I could get some speed, it failed, as I broke. Back in Tri this year and the variety is making all the difference again, being able to swap disciplines because IM not feeling right for one is just what I need. 

I think I missed the buzz and anticipation of an event, and the cameraderie you only seem to get in Tri, especially IM, so much so I volunteered at one last year.

2 1/2 IM distance races for md this year, and yrs, I got the ink as well, shallow, I know, but it's more than just an mdot, it's a story board of my journey, and sometimes I just look at it and think of where I was what I've done and it makes me feel good. 

My training has also inspired my wife and daughter to do events, so more positivity.

I hope so, otherwise we're all buggered. 

Seriously, should be fine. Just don't get too focused too soon, otherwise boredom will kick in. Just spend the next 6 months focusimg on swimming, general fitness and bike dkills

Time in the feet is time on the feet. It'll all be a benefit

All ticking along nicely I think. No real Niggles. Most sessions being hit. Enjoying the bike, and riding lots of hills, just haven't got any long rides in, and no real speed in the bike. 

Been using the turbo, and getting used to the TT bike on the rollers. 

I've got one as well, necessary upgrade after I 'mislaid' my old 310.  Tri bundle was at a 'bargain' rate one day on the Garmin website, so I jumped at it.

Impressed with the indoor swimming function, good for distances (99.9% of the time), good to review efficiency, stroke rate, pace etc.  Haven't tri the openwater function yet.

Got cadence sensor on both TT and road bike, and find it useful during training etc.

All in all, can't really fault it.
