Some training tips...more to follow (suggestions welcome)
Some training tips...more to follow (suggestions welcome)
Spring is here and they’re off…. early racing for duathletes in perfect conditions
We all have different ideas of
what it is to be adventurous. Some it means crossing New Zealand unaided and
solo, others it means combining a run-bike-run up and down the east coast of
Jersey. You never know the latter may be a good start for developing into
something bigger.
What was really pleasing was to
see how many novice and newbie entries there were for this first event of 2013
and what a great introduction to multi-sport with the duathlon being on a good
course, with great organisation and really friendly people to help you get
started and get confident.
It was also good to see the older
and more experienced triathletes in the mix which really gives the event a
flavour and some excitement seeing professional Dan racing alongside complete
beginners (well for the first few 100 meters!)
Amongst the fast and the new were
also the ‘mileage monsters’ who belong to the growing group of Ironman
Triathletes. This crew exchanged stories of long hours on the bike and many
miles on the run and a complete medical breakdown of every injury, ailment and
niggle that is a part of Ironman training.
It seems incongruous that such a
broad range of talent new, pro and old, sprint, fast and endurance should all
be together for one race, but that is surely the magic of the Jersey Triathlon
Club. If you want some variety why not mix it up a bit and try a duathlon, and
if you don’t mind getting wet a triathlon it’s a great sport and a fantastic introduction
to multi-sport and adventure racing.

Playlist 130210 - Music for this week’s spin classes
Playlist
130210/170206
Music for this
week’s spin classes
Mon 5:30pm and
6:30pm at FitnessFirst
Tues 7:15am at BodyRox
(The new bikes have arrived!!)
Wed 5:45pm at BodyRox
This set is
going to be very, very hard! Having done some speed and hills based on
endurance in the past few weeks this set combines up and down to create a lot
of variety of music, pace and position and will create fatigue quite early in
the set.
There are a lot
of oldies in this set, but I’m noticing that the 1980s sounds are popular again
so I’ve got some fun tracks in the set as well as a return to some hard core
rock which has been missing for about 6 weeks whilst I have been using house
music and disco.
The set played
end-to-end would be over an hour and twenty minutes, but the idea is to select
the tracks according to the mood of the team and if you look strong I’ll pick
the big tracks and if you look tired I use some easier ones.
