On Saturday evening, the Northern Suburbs Tri Club, (NSTC), held its monthly Transition Training Session (TTS), a handicapped Swim / Bike / Run training session. As usual these are always relaxed and fun training events.

The TTS has a good following from club members and local triathletes. It was good to see a number of people participating from the Thursday swim sessions and I had provided them with instructions to warm up prior and swim at a pace that was sustainable. All of them reported after the TTS that they took the swim much easier than in the past without any negative impact on their swim time and with more energy left for the bike and the run, well done all I am glad that you listen to me somedays!

The club put on a BBQ post TTS so we could all take it up on how good we once were, or how good we will be next season.

Do you have what it takes?

What does it take to succeed in Triathlon? to answer this you firstly need to define success, to me this is to achieve your best and this is different for all, some it is to complete a Tri, others a PB or finish an Ironman whilst others want to qualify for certain events or win their chosen events. Yes ability does come into it in determining what is your best and the goals you set, but ability does not limit you from being your best or even being better than those who you have a perceived as having greater ability than you.

Three essential ingredients are required to put you on the path to racing to your best.

  1. Be self driven / motivated and committed to your training.
  2. Have a desire to improve.
  3. Have someone who you are accountable to and communicate with them regularly (this may be a coach!!!!)

Sure this is plug for coaching, if you feel that you have these 3 ingredients but have not put them together yet, have you thought about coaching, a coach can help you blend the key ingredients together and will help you set clear and realistic goals for your season (ie a plan). Dont let another season go by where you have not performed to your best on race day.
