Guest Travis. Posted August 22, 2013 Share When training for a tri: Know your strengths and slowly build up your weaknesses. This relates to each discipline. In the race you should not get negative when you fall behind in your weak discipline, use your strengths to their maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grondpad Posted August 22, 2013 Share The first 1.5 to 2 km of the run of the bike is always the worst. Get of the bike, force yourself to run. Find your rhythm in the first 10 to 12 min of the pace you want to do and the rest of the run will be much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swim.Bike.Run Posted August 22, 2013 Share You will hit a bad patch during the run.In fact you'll be lucky if you only hit 1 bad patch.Fight through it, slow down to walk if you must, but keep on going - each step is a step closer to the finish line.During this time, snack on something, hydrate and stay positive.Miraculously you'll regain some energy and you will run again.
