RSR 23 – Training for race day conditions make you a stronger, better racer

By Skip

Episode number 23 of my daily triathlon training diary…..

Today was my longest swim to date. In addition to this swim I had some stationary bike work to do which I do not like. I talk about my Garmin HR monitor and last but not least, a few conditions you can replicate to improve your race day performance.

If you have any questions, comments or content ideas, please leave a comment below or email me.

So if you have read any of the blog thus far you know a little bit about me… I can not be told what to do and I push myself about as far as I can be pushed!

But how did I get here and why? Well, that is what this page is about.

I was never really the athletic type. Sure, I played tennis in high school (and quite well, mind you) but running CERTAINLY was never my thing!

The start of 2009 was big for me as I came to the realization that I had put on too much weight over the past 10 years (read more...)
