CoachAJ started the topic Good luck at Augusta and Giant Acorn in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 7 years ago
If my memory serves me correctly, this weekend is our last half Ironman race of the season. Let’s all wish Carlos a successful, speedy race at Augusta 70.3. This is one of my favorite races. It’s a fast swim, fun bike course, and super flat run. However, it’s likely to be really hot this weekend. So be sure to hydrate! Start drinking your…[Read more]

Thank you for your race review! This was helpful and insightful. Like Juan stated, congratulations on your podium spot. This is exciting!
A couple of notes…to be honest, you shouldn’t speed through T1 (or any transition) at the cost of your HR. So slowing down those 30 seconds are actually beneficial if you get your HR down to ward ag…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic End of season is near for me too in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 7 years ago
Thank you Juan for keeping the conversation going! Yes, it would be interesting to hear how you do with a second HIM and all of the other racing you have complete in between. For some, this elevates their performance. For many, it does not since cumulative fatigue starts to factor in.
Good luck at Waterman’s and let us know how it goes for you!

It’s right around the corner and we have a big group of HIP participants racing AC 70.3 this coming weekend. So…how is ready!?
While reviewing the race plan for one of my self coached athletes, I became aware that AC 70.3 is a self seeded wave swim start. I am sure that everyone that is racing is aware. But in the event that you missed it…[Read more]

Our fearless co-leader, Chris Jackson, took on IMWI this past weekend. Per usual, he had a strong, respectable race. For anyone that attended the clinics, Chris imparted much of his experience from years of racing. Now he has another successful Ironman under his belt. Congratulations Chris!

Thank you Bob for the update! I am sorry it wasn’t a better outcome for you. However it sounds like you learned some good lessons. Yes, one of the hardest lessons of all is to listen to your body particularly when it comes to injury. It’s easy to push through something that might not be good or just might not be so bad. However, pain is the…[Read more]

Good morning team,
Robert was set to take on Maine 70.3 this past weekend. Robert, how did the race go for you? With it being an inaugural Ironman branded race, it’s always helpful to hear about the race. What went well? What didn’t go as planned? Did you enjoy the race venue? Would you recommend it to others?
Here’s hoping it was an excel…[Read more]

What a day! We heard the weather was perfect for IMMT! So how did everyone do? What went well? What didn’t go as planned? Where is there still opportunity? Will you do it again?
Fill us in! Hope it was a magical day especially after you crossed the finish line, of course!

Good luck to everyone racing IMMT tomorrow! Here’s hoping it’s an amazing race for you…of course once you cross the finish line. Training is 80% physical and 20% mental. Racing is 80% mental and 20% physical. So find that mantra and crush that course!
We look forward to hearing all about your race!
