How’s every getting ready for training next week? Have you gathered everything you need? Nutrition? Planned your week around workouts?
Has anyone done any of the workouts to sort of see how they’ll do during the actual training period?
Any questions before training starts?
Looking forward to seeing some feedback!!!

Woot woot!! That’s awesome that you guys signed up for it.

This is a tricky one (aero bars). I switched from a road bike to a TT bike recently for many reasons. One of them is that when you look at the angle of a road bike, especially where the sear post is, and compare it to a TT seat post, you can see that the road bike saddle sits further behind or far back from the handle bar than TT bikes.

Hi both,
like coach AJ said, you can’t really transfer bibs in triathlons. Also, eagleman doesn’t even have a waiting list. Sucks!
However, there are several half Ironman happening in the area if you don’t mind driving. I signed up for Ohio because it’s the flattest one I could fine for my first half. It is on July 28 and the entry fee is stil…[Read more]
