There truly isn't really much distinction between achieving a fitness goal, an individual goal or a company objective. They all need the exact same vital components. When I develop a first-time professional athlete's triathlon training program, for instance, or set a company goal for myself, I start with the result I want and work my way back to find the first action.
With a ironman triathlon results, you should have a body of water for the swim. It should have a large sufficient beach-front to accommodate all the athletes that will be taking part.
This is the perfect event for those people that want to declare they did a "triathlon training". The huge point is that they can get medals in some age for simply finishing the race. The top 5 racers in each group get medals!
Get adequate rest! This may be the gravest "sin" of the triathlete throughout training. The mentality is to go, go, go. However you aren't lazy for taking appropriate rest - you're smart. It is when you rest that your muscles fix themselves and your body gets more potent itself and not while you're in fact working out and training.
Sure, perhaps I'm a sap. But seeing 80-year-old Rental property Park resident Bob McKeague cross the surface line the finish line in 2005 as the oldest finisher ever brought a smile to my face. I started to weep when Jon Blais rolled across the surface line the exact same year, knowing that since of ALS he 'd most likely never ever be able to complete the race once again. In 2007, I cheered when I saw my good friend cross the surface line just ahead of Brian Boyle who nearly lost his life in a terrible automobile mishap prior to ever making it to ironman triathlon. I felt bad for Sis Madonna Buder and Team Hoyt, Rick and Penis, when race authorities told them that they missed the time cut-off and could not finish the race.
Practice in the open water if at all possible. As apparent as this might sound, it actually is the only way to get utilized to swimming in open water. Depending upon where you live this might or might not be an alternative. My idea is this. Arrive a day or 2 before the race and go out and swim the open water you will race in. Simply investing fifteen minutes getting used to the waves, present and feel of the water will go a long way come race day.
I would also recommend a quality sunscreen and comfy fitting clothes, shorts, t-shirt etc. That is truly all the equipment you will have to successfully finish your first Triathlon. Establishing your transition area is another topic I will cover in another article, in the meantime, run YOUR race, keep your feelings under control, and before you know it you will be crossing the goal =-RRB- Good Luck and above all Have A Good Time !!
