Congratulations, Ross, on breaking 5 hours! This is a testament to what proper pacing can do for you. The recommendations offered you are nothing new but they do work…Dial back the bike and run consistently hard. As I mentioned in all of my seminars, there is no ‘good bike, bad run.’ If so, you pushed the bike way too hard!
And if you are…[Read more]

Stick sponges down your tri top or under the shoulder straps. One thing to note, if you do pour water over your head/body, be careful of your feet. If your running shoes get…[Read more]
