Triathlon ......

[JGR]

I am starting this thread for the following reasons:

 

1. Share training experience and new techniques

2. To support each other through times of doubt

3. Discuss equipment

4. Discuss races/events

5. Recent news

6. Group swims/rides/runs

 

This is not about complaining about costs of bikes, events, location, times ect.

 

It is my hope to share positive experience with like minded people who are involved in triathlon or are looking to be involved in triathlon.

I just got the new Suunto 2s - anyone had experience with the apps? notably the power app?

[ebenvn]

Good idea - thanks!

 

Wish there was a couple of 70.3 distances to get some good rides in for IM... As far as I know it's basically Midlands Ultra and IM 70.3

 

Any road races where one can get some TT time in (ideally a "double like the 94.7...)

You cant use the TT bike in normal road races unfortunately. Perhaps we should enter a local PPA and start with the temps and use the bars

Hey guys! Good idea for a thread!

 

I am new to triathlons and am going to do my first one next week - Caledon (off road)...

 

Any tips or tricks for a first timer?

[raymakestv]

Also new to it. Doing the Jailbreak in a couple weeks. Are TT bars allowed there?

I just got the email from IMSA saying that a spot has opened for me in April and I have 24hrs to take it.

I'm nervous, scared and excited all at the same time! Eish, now is the time to take the plunge and enter.

Thanks for starting the topic JGR.

 

So I've been struggling to get into training this year. So much has been happening. So... Anyone in the Randburg/Sandton area that is needing to start training from scratch can contact me.

 

I also need some motivation so anyone experienced that feels like helping out with some training tips to get me going, are free to do so

No prob

 

Motivation is something I also struggle with sometimes - I love the training but it becomes difficult balancing friends and gf's.

 

Im planning on putting a couple of short youtibe vids on my phone to watch if I feel like ending session or skipping
