Swim technique
In Training of TTC (November 5, 2008 8:19 pm)
There’s no doubt that our most popular workshops are for swimming and it seems that most triathletes are desperate to improve in this one area. Ironically its also the discipline that takes most time to improve and has the least direct effect on your triathlon time. That said its indirect effect, through saving energy which […]

Doom & Gloom - Just keep training!
In General Triathlon of TTC (October 28, 2008 8:31 pm)
One of the great things about being out in Hawaii, apart from the obvious benefits, is that you are a bit cut off from the real world. Couple that with the fact that most people only want to talk about triathlon and you actually live in Ironworld for a weeks or so. Unfortunately you have to […]
Surfing - Great for active recovery
In Training of TTC (October 17, 2008 4:10 pm)
After the full on activity of race week in Kona, I popped over to Oahu for a couple of days R&R with some friends. While there we decided to have a surf lesson. We booked in for 2 hours which cost $75. Now the waves were pretty small (2-3ft) in comparison to what you might get on […]
Race Day - The storm is unleashed
In Ironman of TTC (October 13, 2008 8:40 am)
What a day! For about 5 hours it looked like the pre race predictions were going to come true. Then Chrissie got a flat, Macca had bike mechanic issues and suddenly everything changed.
While Macca was forced to drop out, Chrissie had an enforced stop of 11 minutes until Rebecca Keat stopped to lend her a […]
Kona - Its the calm before the storm
In Ironman of TTC (October 11, 2008 4:58 am)
As you would expect before big race, today was the calm before the storm. Surprisingly the expo was quite busy and we even sold 2 CompuTrainers to make 5 for the week; not quite the record 17 from a few years ago, but reasonable nevertheless. Maybe we sell less now because most athletes who are […]
Kona Day 4 - A very busy day
In Ironman of TTC (October 10, 2008 7:48 am)
Today was a busy day. As is normal when your body is readjusting to time zones, I woke at 3, 4 and 5 before finally getting up at 5.30. When the sun came up Kevin (RCVman) and I headed for the beach just a few metres away to start filming my latest strength & conditioning […]
Kona Day 3 - Anything is possible
In Ironman of TTC ( 6:46 am)
Kevin Lynch
Scott Rigsby + Wardy
This morning we had our very first “CompuTrainer fun ride.”
12 athletes, some competing on Saturday joined us for a ride out to the airport. The idea was for Kevin Lynch our cameraman to ride on the scooter and film the whole ride just as he would for the real course videos […]
Kona - Day 2, Tuesday
In Ironman of TTC (October 8, 2008 9:15 am)
Today was hectic. The expo traditionally starts after the athlete parade and that means we have to spend the early part of the day making sure that the booth is all fixed up and ready to go. Setting up the CompuTrainer is the easy part. Making sure the machinery all hooks up with the Computer […]
Kona Day 1 (Monday)
In Ironman of TTC (October 7, 2008 6:29 pm)
The jog down to the beach wasn’t as bad as I thought. In fact it was quite pleasant. I got there a few minutes before Dion and had a chance to have a quick look round. There were plenty of people around (as usual on the Monday morning before the race) but not quite as […]
Kona - I’ve arrived
In Ironman of TTC (October 6, 2008 3:22 pm)
Aloha
The only downside of a Hawaii trip is the travel time from the UK. Yesterday I was on the go for 27 hours before I got to my condo (that’s 15hrs of flying and 12 hours hanging around in airports). With an 11 hour time difference my body thinks it’s the afternoon, hence the early […]
