Important Triathlon Training Tips By : Gabriel Adams A triathlon is one of the most brutal and taxing sports that you can take part in. However finishing a triathlon can also be one of the most rewarding things that you can do in a lifetime. The worst thing that you can do is signing up to compete in a triathlon without training properly. Many people think that if they are a good athlete and they are in good shape, then they can compete in and finish a triathlon without too much trouble. This is not true. Competing in ... Special Features Of A Triathlon Bike By : Low Jeremy One of the most common question, a triathlon beginner would ask is: “What is the difference between a triathlon bike and a road bike?” This is a very important question to ask since the two might appear the same. But deeper evaluation would reveal that there is something special about triathlon bike that could not be seen on a regular road bike. But before enumerating these, you must remember that using triathlon bike is not limited to triathlon events. Even on solo rid... Sprint Triathlon For The Tough Hearted By : Low Jeremy Even the fittest and the toughest of the athletes do get some shares of pain during the triathlon race. Triathlon is simply a game of endurance. The only thing that one can do is to believe that somehow, he will be able to reach the finish line. One has to battle with distances, with fatigue and with lack of strength. And it is likely that at the end, he'll be having thoughts of quitting but his inner self will convince him that's its already too late to quit. Sprint triat... Tips Concerning Wet Suits During The Triathlon Race By : Low Jeremy Wet suits are typically a personal choice in Triathlon competitions unless you are a member of a team that mandates a definite type of suits. Nevertheless, triathlon as a whole is an individual sport which allows participants to choose their personal gears, equipments and suits. The major gears aside, the wet suit plays one of the major roles in helping you win or lose the game. Sometimes, it creates the make or break momentum. The mile you have earned during the swim peri... Training Plan For Triathlon 2006 By : Low Jeremy Our body, being a perfect engine is designed specifically for training or non-training. If you test its limits then you get what you expect- you become better. If you remain in the same pace over the duration of your training, the body will adopt to that pace. Therefore, you must never allow your body to get used to similar workouts. Put challenges into it. Always do things that will help create an interesting training for you. Sometimes it is not fatigue that stops someon... The Hawaii Ironman--Will You Be There? By : Ray Fauteux Its been a long time since I raced in Kona, but I don't believe the Ironman-Hawaii course has changed all that much. The swim course I'm sure, is much the same as it was back in the early 80's. Its truly unforgettable. Water so warm, that wetsuits are unnecessary. Tropical fish to marvel at for pretty well the length of the entire course. Water so clear, the bottom is clearly visible. The better to see the scuba divers sitting on the ocean floor, waving at you. Then making... Ironman Langkawi-Malaysia-About The Race. By : Ray Fauteux Ironman Langkawi-Malaysia is soon to take place in the idealic setting of Kuah town. The race is to go ahead as scheduled on February 26, 2006 and there are still openings for those of you looking for a race in the very near future. The langkawi-Malaysia Ironman first took place in the year 2000 and has since become the favorite of many athletes from around the world. The swim is a 3.8 km swim in the tranquil waters of the Kuah town Jetty. The bike is a 2 and one hal... The Ironman Triathlon-Whats Your Fear Factor? By : Ray Fauteux What scares you the most about your upcoming ironman race? What's your fear-factor? As fit as a person is going into the first career Ironman, the fear-factor is in the equation as the big day creeps ever closer. As cool and confident as many participants may appear, there is almost always something that fills them with a certain amount of misgiving and anxiety. For many, the fear-factor will be overwhelming self-doubt as they wonder to themselves what on earth they ... Ironman Triathlon-Run Equipment Choices By : Ray Fauteux There are several run-equipment choices I feel can help you quite a lot in your quest for your first Ironman Trathlon finisher medal. SHOES- Of course well fitting shoes are a priority. I've tried every sort of shoe you can imagine over the years and have come to this conclusion: You can train just as well and stay just as injury free in $50 shoes as you can in $150 dollar shoes. For instance, what if an outlet has a brand new 2005 model shoe on sale for $69, and sells ... Ironman Triathlon--Some Diet Ideas. By : Ray Fauteux Training diets come in dozens of shapes and sizes. It will just make you crazy! Trying to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. Especially when you start doing some serious training and you are HUNGRY when you get home. Well the good news is that I've tried pretty well all of the major diets over the years(and some not so major)and can cut out much of the guesswork for you. And no, I don't have a degree in nutrition. I earned my credentials in the kitchen and at the din... Ironman Triathlon--Ten Common Mistakes By : Ray Fauteux There's lots of trial and error involved when you're attempting your first Ironman. These days there's lots of advice floating around out there and it can get confusing at times. After over 20 years on the Ironman scene, I've seen some of the same mistakes made over and over again by first time Ironman triathletes. Here are the top ten mistakes that I feel you should really try and avoid. Just possibly it will give you a better shot at achieving your Ironman goal. (1) O... Beginner Triathlete-Novice Ironman--Don't Expect Bike Magic By : Ray Fauteux In preparing to take on the challenge of a first Ironman, I believe far too many athletes put too much emphasis on the bike they choose to purchase for the event. Somewhere along the Ironman trail, many athletes have come to believe that the lighter, and more state of the art the bike, the faster they will finish the bike leg of the Ironman. Nothing could be further from the truth. For example: You could put one athlete on a $10,000 bike and have him train without the a... The Ironman Triathlon-And A Glass Of Water By : Ray Fauteux If I could take one thing back from all the ironman training I did over the years, it would be the thousands of laps I did in the pool with the hopes of thrashing out a faster swim time. If you are an age grouper or a novice Ironman, there is really no point in spending hours and hours in the pool if you are already at the point where you can easily handle the distance. To devote your valuable training time to enable you to complete the swim 4 or 5 minutes faster is a very... The Ironman Triathlon--Such Humble Beginnings By : Ray Fauteux The Hawaii Ironman grew from very humble beginnings. Really not much more than a few friends discussing who was the better athlete---a runner, a biker or a swimmer. A suggestion was made that a race be invented that included all three elements. That day, an event was born that would change the landscape of sporting history. What started as a 2.4 Waikiki rough water swim, a bike race around the island, followed by the Honolulu marathon gave birth to mult-event races that... Over 45? Ten Reasons Why You Should Do The Ironman Triathlon By : Ray Fauteux 1) Just preparing for it by dieting properly and training could well put you in the best physical condition of your life. 2) By improving yourself, you do a wonderful thing for your family and all those close to you. 3) In the eyes of those same people, you will be a role model, a hero and an inspiration. 4) You will give your life new meaning. As a 14 time Ironman(my last at 55), I guarantee it. 5) You will most likely learn new skills you previously knew nothing... Beginner Triathlete-Novice Ironman/Why Do The Ironman? By : Ray Fauteux Why do the Ironman Triathlon? I've lost track of how many times over the years I've been asked why I commit so much of my time to preparing for yet another Ironman. For a long time I found it difficult to come up with a reasonable response, because often I wasn't sure myself. I think what makes it difficult, is goals change as the years pass and so would the answer to the question. At first like so many others, I was "Ironstruck". When I first saw this event I was dr...
