Age Grouper of the Week
 
John D, of Epic Camp fame, sent through this weeks age grouper. Hereâs what he said: I have two friends that are husband and wife that did the race with me. I was inspired by the wife's performance. Kathryn Clayton had absolutely no athletic background unless you count cheer leading in high school and college. Her life is very busy like most triathletes. She is the mother of two young children and runs the family business. She did her first triathlon about 3 1/2 years ago so that she could be part of the world that her husband Kevin Clayton was/is so passionate about. She started with Olympic and Sprint races and worked up to a 1/2 IM last year. Her goal for her first IM was 13 hours. She did 12:57 in very difficult condition last Sunday. I witnessed a lot of very fit people and experience triathletes finish after 13 hours.

Website of the Week

Roman Mica from www.everymantri.com sent though this weeks website, hereâs what he wrote: Boulder, Colorado April 3, 2008 --- What does a  23-year-old Colorado college student, a 47-year-old financial planner, a 37-year-old mother of three, and a 9-year-old elementary school student have in common?

They all recently swam, biked, and ran their birthday along with dozens of
other athletes from  around the world.

Imagine celebrating your health, and your fitness on your birthday by swimming, running, and biking your age. That's exactly what  athletes are doing as part of the new raceAthlete B-Fit B-Day Challenge. The athletes take their age and:

1) Swim the number of miles in the first number
2) Run the number of miles in the second number
3) Bike the number of miles in the combined number

So a 45-year-old athlete would:

1) Swim 4 miles
2) Run 5 miles
3) Bike 45 miles

Age Grouper of the Week
 
Daniel Moore sent through this weeks age grouper, hereâs his email: A suggestion for age grouper of the week, my be appropriate.  My coach John Hill became the Australian Champ at Port Mc this weekend in the 50-54 age cat (despite not recovering from the flu).  He has done soooo many races this year since coming 7th in the 45-49 cat at Kona in 9.51 in 2007.

Soon after Kona, he won the 50-54 Cat. at the Western Australia IM in 9.25, (30 mins quicker than 2nd place!!!) and has since became Australian champ in all distances this season.  sprint/olympic/long course/half and ironman.

Anyway, i think he is slightly mad, after doing the IM this weekend, he's off to Canberra to do an Ultra Marathon this weekend!!!

This Weeks Discussion

Would you ever date a woman that was faster or more well known than you in your sport? Say for example Chrissie Wellington or another top pro?

Further more, (maybe a forum question, definitely a hot topic)-- Is it emasculating to date or marry a woman that can beat you at a discipline?  Or an an entire triathlon? How about being married to a woman that is faster than you and brings home the bacon?

Age Grouper of the Week
 
James Flynn sent through this weeks age grouper, here his email:
This isn't Age Grouper of the Week, but it would be great if you could mention somebody special. Our group HEAT (Hartford Extended Area Triathletes) has a Sunday swim program at Cornerstone, a terrific swimming facility in West Hartford, CT.
We began in November, and will continue til June.  We rent four lanes at the pool, and range from beginners to Hawaii Ironman finishers. We've had a volunteer coach, Rich Flores who has been fantastic.  He has especially worked with the people who have room for improvement while the fast people beat the heck out of each other in lane four. Rich has a great record of coaching young people who have gone on to succesful swimming careers in high school and college.  This is his first time with mostly older athletes.  He has a wonderful combination of motivation and teaching the technical side of stroke improvement.

Age Grouper of the Week
 
Thomas Peoples sent through this weeks age grouper, here his email:

He's somebody who's been mentioned on the show previously, but unfortunately, heblanked you at Wanaka! Yes, that's right it's T-Rex of Tri, otherwise known as the 28 year old Andrew Kerr.
He performed at Challenge Wanaka with an 11:52, but then he backed it up big time with a 10:46 at IMNZ! A PB of 1 hour 10 minutes, talk about smashing it! On top of all that, he's also marshalling the IMNZ Champs this coming weekend. Before IMNZ 2007 he, unlike many people prepared for his first Ironman by entering an Iron distance race in the UK. Well done, Andy.

High 5
 
1. Not one single Hawaii spot in any category rolled down.
2. From 932 starters, 899 finished, which is the highest percentage of finishers since this race started in 2004.
3. 12 age-group course records fell on the day. It was definitely a fast year.
4. The womenâs course record fell by ten minutes.
5. The youngest competitor Sarah Gibson finished in 15:01:17.
6. The 70-74 year division attracted five competitors!
7. For 364 triathletes, it was to be their first Ironman.

Age Grouper of the Week

ïPeter Tinholt sent through this weeks amazing story about Tony Jackson: We were at the finish line till the end.  Here we heard about Tony Jackson.  Tony is one of two people to have competed in all 24 Ironman NZ races.  This year was extra special though.  We heard that Tony was diagnosed with Brain Cancer in December and was operated on.  He was given 13 weeks!  To this apparently he responded that is not enough time.  On Thursday he had chemo and on Saturday he completed his 24th Ironman NZ, with his wife by his side who also did the event.  Tony competed the Ironman in 16.10 in the 60-65 Age Group.
Last night at the prize giving Tony was presented with an award in the memory of an Ironman athlete who died 10 years ago while preparing for Ironman as the person who most embodied the spirit of Ironman.  Tony received a standing ovation.
This guy was so inspiring and courageous that in my mind no one deserves to be age grouper of the week more than Tony.
I'll be back next year!  I hope Tony will also be there to make it 25 straight.

Age Grouper of the Week

Denise âThe Red Hammerâ Wood send through this weeks age grouper. Hereâs her email: I know Jim "Jolly" Rogers already sent you some info about Louisville and the fact that we got to spend time with Chris and Daniel McDonald - that was so cool, what great guys! He nominated me for Age Grouper of the Week after CDA and I think it is only right that I return the favor - besides he earned it! A 12:36 in his first Ironman! WooHoo! Did he mention that this was also his first marathon ever!! Jolly had a great day battling a tough course and some brutal heat, and anyone tough enough - or is it crazy enough - to take on their first marathon in an Ironman is my hero!!

www.tritheworld.com Brain and Heather are doing 16 70.3 races around the world in 8 months to raise Awareness for Testicular Cancer and Acquired Brain Injury.  An amazing effort, and they are paying for most of it themselves My site TRImapper.com has just signed a deal to sponsor 4 or 5 of their races.  They are just ordinary human beings, not pros doing something for a cause. 

Coachâs Corners

If you are doing two races in 6 weeks hereâs the best way to approach it:
You need to be very fit to handle two good races
Have the first race as your key race
Shorter taper
Straight back into it the day after the race
Recovery protocol after the first race is crucial (eg, skins, stretching, nutrition, sleepâ.)
Avoid running for 4-5 days and be careful for the first 2 weeks post race, good chance to aim for a lift in swimming
Providing all is going well resume fairly normal training after 10-14days, careful with running
No runs over 2.5hrs, aim for better quality
important to get some quality riding in before 2nd event
Possibly shorter taper also for 2nd event

Age Grouper of the Week

Phil Brown sent through this weeks age grouper, hereâs what he said: I'd like to nominate my friend, Emma Tilston, from Wales, who also completed The Big Woody.  Her time of 15:02 (1:35/9:04/4:23) again, is not going to break any records, but it was also her first season of triathlon
(you've got to love the coaching school of Bevan James Eyles!) and a year ago, she couldn't swim front crawl at all.  Not even a little bit.  To me, she exemplifies what ironman is all about - with being smart, dedicated and sensible about the training, ordinary people can do extraordinary things.  I think she got more applause than anyone else that crossed the finish line and somehow won 2nd female vet!

Coachâs Corners

Keeping Swim sessions interesting: Swim with a swim squad where possible. Be brave if you are not super confident. If there are no swim squads see if you can get some group sessions going nominating someone to write the programme
Always have a written programme before you go to the pool
use the clock to motivate you
take times for all intervals, get to know your different paces
use clock to count lengths for long sets, keeps you on track
Do sets on times rather than rest intervals
For example 12 x 200 (4 on 3:30, 4 on 3:15, 4 on 3:05) as opposed to 12x200 on 15RI
Use watch for long swims to help with counting and motivation.
Break long swims up to help with counting (eg 2km straight repeating 400 steady / 100 mod hard rather than 2km steady)
Document your times
Do regular time trials to asses progress
Get yourself filmed (more than once)
Each session try to focus on one aspect of your stroke

Age Grouper of the Week

Jim Boldra sent through this weeks age grouper, hereâs his email:
I would like to nominate an age grouper of the week from IM Wisconsin.  The athlete is Wendy Heldt from Appleton , Wisconsin .  Wendy did her first IM at IM Wisconsin last week. She won the Female 50-54 age group in a time of 11:55:53 .  She swam 1:15:23 , biked 6:03:04 , and ran 4:27:31. This effort qualified her for Hawaii in her first attempt, and just missed setting the Female 50-54 course record by only 2 seconds.  Wendy is a very dedicated athlete that I have been coaching for the past two years.  She is looking forward to her first attempt at Kona in 2008. Keep up the good work. Jim Boldra

Coachâs Corners

Catching waves when racing/training -- the key is to catch the wave just as itâs starting to spill
Look under your breathing arm when you are coming into the wave zone to look for waves
As the wave is almost on you (ie starting to lift) pick up pace to hard
Keep swimming hard and take a big breath until you start to fall down the front of the wave
Once you are on the wave keep your body as tall and stiff as possible.
If you need to take a breath do a stroke with one arm (breathing to the side, not the front)
Keep your face down in the water (keeps hips up)
As you start to slow bring your kick back in followed by 1 arm swimming, try to stay on the wave as long as possible

Age Grouper of the Week

James Tran send through this weeks age grouper, hereâs his email:
I have a nominee for age grouper of the week. Neal Oseland is a married 38 year old, father of 2 young girls. Earlier this season, he trained for IM Coeur d'Alene in hopes of qualifying for Kona and raced a 10:31 to miss a slot by 13+ minutes. He was very dissapointed but kept plugging away. He entered a half in September claiming to be burnt out and wanting the season to be over with. At this half, he won a raffle entry into the Silverman Full Distance. That fired him up but the problem is that it was only 6 weeks away. He had already told his family that he was just about ready for his offseason. Well, after some discussions with his wife and kids, they jumped on board and pushed him to do it. He used his IMCDA base and trained hard for 4 weeks then tapered for 2. He told me the day before the race..."I'm going to take it easy during the swim and the bike and shoot for a top 10 run time" Well, he didn't get that top 10 run time but he did get a top 10 OVERALL time!! He says he went super easy on the swim (96 overall split) and pretty easy on the bike (5th overall split) and finished with the 14th run split. There was 10,000 feet of climbing on the bike which he said was not too bad as he lives in Colorado so he's used to those long climbs. The run is what was so hard for him. He said it's the hardest marathon he's ever done even outside of triathlon which is saying something. It was either straight up or down. He looked forward to the ups because the downs were hurting so bad on his quads. He got himself into 1st in his age group after the bike and never let it go. To show how strong he was, he had to sprint the last 200m of the finish as someone was chasing him down at the finish. He beat him though. To use his words "That course was just wrong". in reference to the extreme difficulty of the climbs and the strong winds.

Age Grouper of the Week
 
This week we have 4 age groupers, itâs the Mcdonald family!  Last weekend they all raced in IMWA. Having 4 family members in one race is amazing by itself but whatâs really amazing it that all of them got in under 10 hours! Here are each persons splits:

MCDONALD, Chris 00:52:11 / 04:26:47 / 03:02:03    08:21:13

MCDONALD, David  00:54:13 / 04:44:55 / 03:30:42    09:10:02

Just thought I'd drop you a quick line.. Really enjoy the show, only just got into it after being away from multisport for a bit. Quick bit of info about riding/training on a fixed.. attached is an article I wrote on the subject for Ultra Fit UK. Main advantages are
 
1: Increased cadence
2: Smoother peddling stroke
3: Greater strength (you've no gears to shift down on hills so its up to you)
4: Time efficient, no freewheeling and even having to work on downhills
5: Bombproof, maintenance free bike for those of us who live in less clement climes... saves your best bike a winters work.
6: You feel totally in touch with your bike.. a bit zen.. no I won't start chanting.
7: A definite cool factor

http://www.hydrapak.com/catalog/product2095.htm   I bought one and will definitely buy another.  In the interest of Ironman antics (IM FL 2004), I am currently registered for the Disney Race and a Half, where I am running a 5K on Friday, 13.1 on Saturday and 26.2 on Sunday around Disney World.  The Gel-Bot is going to save me much hassle as I crank through the 42.2 miles.

Coachâs Corner

Chance sent through this question to John. How are some ways to gauge whether you are at the appropriate non-draft distance? 7 or 10 meters etc.?
How can I know I am not being a "cheater?"

Know the rules
Set your bike on indoor trainer and put another bike 7m in front so you can âseeâ the difference.
In NZ some race officials use the white lines in the middle of the road as reference points. Front of one white line to front of next is 7m.
When racing if you hear a draft marshal coming drop back a little and when they pull up next to you ask if the distance is Ok. They then know you are making an effort.
The reality is at big races there will be a lot of drafting and it comes down to a personal choice.

Age grouper of the week
 
His name is Tommy Nielsen and he is an outstanding age grouper. I'll mention his results in a minute but first you need some background information on him:
He's 34 years old and lives with his girlfriend. They have 3 children.
He balances everyday life with the kids, coaches several athletes and put on Denmark's second largest triathlon www.Silkeborgtriathlon.dk He holds a full time job but still finds time to train for Ironman. This is his passion and despite a low training volume he competes at a high level. Leading up to Kona he averaged a about 15 hours a week for 6 consecutive weeks. However, on average over a whole year he normally trains about 10 hours a week. (I don't know how much he trained this year, though) Seen in that light I think his results are incredible.
This year he raced in Roth and had a PB in 8.33 and 12th overall. 7 weeks later he did Ironman UK where he was first age grouper and 8th overall in 8.56. He was over 30 minutes faster than the second fastest in his age group. He qualified for Hawaii where he again went on to win his age group only 7 weeks after Ironman UK. His time in Kona was 9.05.
He always wanted to win in Kona. That was what kept him returning to Kona 8 times. He kept believing he could win in Kona if only he kept training consistently and return to Kona. His weakest discipline has always been the run and after the bike in Kona he was only 6th in his age group. However, with his best ever run in Kona, a 3.05 marathon, he went on to win 6 minutes ahead of number 2. A truly remarkable performance, especially because he had an entrapped nerve in his behind which prevented his performance on the bike. It just shows that anything is possible if you keep believing. A big inspiration and that's why I think Tommy Nielsen should be age grouper of the week.
His web page is www.tommynielsen.com

High 5
 
Correct bogeying technique
Turn your head so as not to get yourself
One finger presses down on non bogeying nostril (double barrel technique is not a good look)
If in a bunch be mindful of others around you (do you bogeying at the back)
If in a race situation donât look behind you. If you hit someone with a greenie they are too close
Tidy yourself up before hitting T2 or the finish
 
Coachâs Corner

Post race (hard workout) recovery tips
Warm down after racing (some easy running for up to 10mins then easy cycling 10-30mins)
Hydrate and eat well as soon as possible
Once warmed down and fuelled up stand in lake/river/sea or cold bath
Put skins or compression tights on if you have any (I sell skins if you want any)
Stretch
Legs up the wall for 10-15mins
Continue to eat and hydrate well. Avoid alcohol until well after the race (ideally all day)

Alvin Connor Natural Balance, handmade body care products were designed using naturally occurring crystalline deposits.
The range has been created to keep you fresh from tip to toe.

I have been using these products for about 11 years now and I swear by them. I was a customer before I got into manufacturing them. As you know I do Triathlon and Ironman and I never have a problem with BO even after my longest rides and runs!!!! What's more none of my cloths have deodorant marks on them. I spend alot of money on Race and Tri specific clothing and I want them to last as long as possible.

The range works by preventing the build up of odour causing bacteria. Body and foot odour is a result of perspiration / sweat coming into contact with bacteria on your skin. By eliminating this bacteria or preventing this bacteria from forming you eliminate body odour. Simple! Hereâs the website: www.alvinconnor.com

Age grouper of the week
 
Coach Gavin Rogers sent through this weeks age grouper Mark Whittaker. Hereâs what Gavin said about Mark: He watched his brother do ironman germany and decided then that he wanted to do an ironman next year.
But his brother posted such a good time at germany for his first ironman that he though he would have a crack at ironman korea to try and qualify for kona ,mark could not go and watch this time and decided with 4 weeks to go that he would enter also.
He asked me if this was possible.
I said as he had just done half ironman UK,very hilly and one of the toughest out there and completed it in just over 6hrs that it was possible but not to expect a great time but just to get round.
So what i did was give him enough information as i could about the nutrition he would need in the race and target hr zones he needed to stick to and added 1 or 2  long bikes and runs leading up to the race,nothing to heavy as the race was so near.
Of he went to ironman korea.
The rest is in his race report well worth the read but in summary:-he crashed his bike at the first feed station still managed to complete the bike course with a broken bike in 7hrs got to 19miles on the run and collapsed,found himself in an ambulance at the finish,got out caught a taxi back to 19mile point and walked to the finish.
 
High 5
 
Glenn sent through:  "Minimising the disruption to training of moving countries/cities"
1. Take as much tri-gear as you can pack as the sports shops at your destination may not stock tri-gear, or alternatively check whether your favourite online store (tri-buys) delivers to your new home.
2. Get online and find the nearest tri-club. If you can't find a tri-club then look at similar organisations such as running clubs, cycling groups etc, as there will always be 'closet' triathletes as members.
3. Be prepared to change your diet. Your favourite foods/supplements may not be available. Use the change as an opportunity to re-evaluate your day-to-day and training diet.
4. Beware of climatic changes. Heat, humidity, altitude, pollen, smog, the list goes on. Be prepared to change where and when you train. Again use this change as an opportunity to adapt and refresh your training program.
5. Use the opportunity to race as many local events as you can, within reason, as you never know when you may move on again.
6. You may not have any training partners for a start, but you are never alone, especially if you have ironmantalk on your ipod!

Age grouper of the week
 

PIOTR KURYLO, our Forrest Gump!

He ran from Augustow to Athens.... And it took him about 6 weeks to go there. And it is not less than 2450km... He took a couple of days rest and participated in the Spartathlon 2007 race at a distance of 245km... Completed 2nd at 24h29min....
He started his trip to Greece with only 600 EUR for the whole "race". Due to some turistic targets he made aprox. 3500km going to Athens. Having so small amount of money he had to eat only bread and milk... All his luggage was with him on a trolley he was pulling all the way there. After reaching Greece he went to the mountains for a 10 days altitude training.... Just shortly before the race went down to the competition place, entering the hotel with long bead and hair. Not clean at all. But as he said my apparence just confused competitors and I smashed them physically...
As you know he was the second beating his PB by 7hours!!!! After the race when he heard that current winner (2 times) is willing to make it 3rd time, he said: I am afraid it will be difficult for him...
When you are here next time I will show you some photos and there will be probably a chance to have a run with him.
Oh, I forgot about his plan for the rest of the season:
- 100km in Egypt
- Race from Augustow to Brussels (1200km)...

Had a shoulder injury leading into the race and issues with cramp from previous IMâs.  In 3rd IM of the season he did a PB on the slow Wisconsin Course.

Age grouper of the week

Tim Cote sent through this weeks age grouper, Chelsea Sanders. There what Tim said about her:
On this topic, I did want to recruit my buddy Chelsea Sanders for the real age grouper of the week. She has been working her ass off training for this ironman and ended up being the first women! This was her first ironman distance race and she got first place! Unbelievable! I mean this was no Hawaii or Ironman sanction event but, hard work is hard work. And she did awesome. (and she's an ironman listener)
 
High 5

How to look after your eyes
1.    UV Protection â in NZ all sunglasses must have higher than 98% UV protection but overseas ?? â some optoms have a machine to measure UV & infa red
2.    Lubricating drops â your eyes can become dry in some conditions (very dehydrated, dry conditions etc), use preservative free eye drops (more expensive but worth it).
3.    Always have an eye exam every 2 years especially if you are over 45 (why? Because over the age of 45 higher risk of glaucoma (silently robs your sight)
4.    Contact lenses â be careful when swimming because itâs easier for bacteria to grow in the matrix of the contact lens material more so than the human eye (clean lenses as told by optom)
5.    If you have sight issues you can get prescription swimming goggles (and good glasses for that matter eg Oakley with Transition lenses)

Age grouper of the week

Sarah Hawkins sent through this weeks age grouper, hereâs who email:
We moved house to Dorset approx 8 miles from the venue of Ironman UK two weeks before so his ironman training including unpacking furniture! The day before the event he fell off his bike and bruised his hip and took a few layers of skin off his shoulder and elbow .... looked very sore.  But his bike was OK!!!!
Ed soldiered on and in true PIRATE spirit he peeled on his wetsuit and faced the Ironman!  This was only his fourth ever triathlon race after a sprint, an olympic and a half ironman distance... here it was his first attempt at Ironman (he wants a tattoo badly!)
He finished in 11 hours and 6 minutes and smiled the whole way round and stayed upright on his bike!  He crossed the finish line with our dog Jack who supported him all the way round and joined in the cheering at the finish line with a few woofs!!  I was very proud of his 190th position out of approx 1600 competitors WOW not bad for a first one eh????!!!!
 So here I give you ED HAWKINS of the UK.......Age grouper of the week (Pleeeeeease!!) Respect guys .... your podcasts have kept him going on those long sessions

Mrs Sarah Hawkins - Ironwife!

Age grouper of the week

Jack Lynch sent through this weeks age grouper. Check out his email:
I've a nomination for AG of the week from the Kenmare Half.  His name is Liam Dolan, a 26yr old from the Setanta triathlon club in Dundalk.  There's a great bunch of lads up there who all listen to the show and I know Liam is a big fan as he's always slagging me about getting mentioned.
He has only been in triathlon 2 years but has already gained a bit of a reputation for his awesome bike splits.  Indeed I missed a trick in not nominating him earlier this year when he finished 10th at Half IM UK where he was the first non-pro finisher.  He finished 4th in Kenmare despite cracking the headset area of his frame after hitting a pothole and noticing that the steering was "a little bit funny".  His real strength though is being able to control himself on the bike so that he can run really well off it - he had the fastest run in Kenmare with a 1:18 on a really hilly course, managing to outrun (just) some guys who can run 31min 10k oly splits (versus his normal 36-37min runs).
On the downside  - he has been known to remark that Ironman is for "30 somethings who are going through a mid life crisis" - though I know he secretly wants to do one soon
So that's my case for Liam!
Please keep up the great work with the show!
Thanks,
Jack

Age grouper of the week
 
Ian Clarke sent us through this email. Well done Fiona for a great first race!
Keep up the good work guys, loving the podcasts!!!!

I would like to put forward Fiona Boxall for age grouper of the week. She raced Ironman Switzerland and finished 16th in the 35-39 age group in her first Ironman, 12hr44mins.  An amazing performance for her
first venture into the long races!!!!! Cheers Ian

High 5

Five random things John picked up from a  recent talk by by Ken Ravizza
1. Itâs good to have crap days â you can learn a lot more from crap days than when you are âin the zoneâ.
2. Back Briefing (feedback) always ask yourself what you got out of a session/race
3. âBe bigâ on race day. Physical presence and how you carry yourself can help your state of mind and intimidate others (baseball example)
4. Only train when you are âreadyâ (gate example)
5. Focus on the process of engaging in the activity rather than the outcomes of your performance
Coachâs Corner

John has an interview with David Watt from Skins, a compression clothing company.
Hereâs what they cover:
-    background of skins
-    the science of compression garments
o    use of skins for training vâs recovery
o    travel
-    what makes skins different to other compression garments
o    go through the range (not just tights)
-    where you can buy
-    any other upcoming product developments
Check out their website: http://www.skins.net/

Age grouper of the week
 
Matthew Cowdrey sent through this weeks age grouper: Brian Hennessey. Heâs the info he gave me: Brian Hennessey. IM UK.
1st ever Ironman. Only started Triathlon this year. Comes from an Ultra-running background (Celtic Cup 50km winner 2006. 3x London to Brighton 55miler winner 2005)
41 Years old.
Swim 59:53
Bike 6:07
Run 2:58 (Ran 1:37 for the first half then realised he was going too slow so put in a 1:21 for the second half...!!!)

Finished in 10:10

6th in age group. 7ht fastest marathon of the day. Punctured 12 miles in on the bike and had trouble getting the tub off. Will be back some time soon to break the 10.

Coachâs Corner

We have Ali Dennis, a great running coach who made Striding On, on the show this week. Hereâs what we covered:
1.    how long have you been working with triathletes?
2.    Have you seen many changes in the way athletes train specifically with their running over the years.
3.    Running drills
a.    Why should we do them and what are we trying to achieve
b.    Are they important for ironman athletes or just âfastâ runners
c.    How often should we do drills
d.    Should they be done all year round
4.    Running styles. Thereâs a big difference between sprinters, middle distance runners and ironmen. In your opinion ironman athletes try to ârunâ or shuffle economically.
5.    Technique. Are they any common flaws you see in ironman athletes
6.    For non coaches athletes how can they asses their technique
7.    Stiding On
a.    Is it suitable for ironman athletes
b.    What does it contain
c.    Where can you get it

Age grouper of the week

Steve Hollingsworth send through this weeks age grouper, hereâs what he said:
Not sure if it's too late to nominate age grouper of the week from Ironman Austria but would like to nominate my mate Dan Lynch. Like me, this was his first Ironman race. 3 weeks out from the race Dan injured his knee but still toed the start line to give it his all on the day. He was doing well on the swim (1h15) and bike (5h40) but the knee blew up again on the run. He strapped the leg up and pushed on with true Ironman grit and determination for a painful 55h26 marathon. Becoming an Ironman, he crossed the finish line with a time of 12h35.

High 5
 
After talking about Molinaâs body being tired from training for so many years Windmagnet sent through this weeks High 5: What life is like for the aging athlete.
1.       Permanently stuffed;
2.       Stiff and sore and worried about injuries â every little niggle is a worry
3.       Always trying to go faster;
4.       Struggling with diet â easy to eat too much and put on weight even when doing the big miles;
5.       Tough to get out of bed and out on the road in the dark in winter.
And this is only in the easy base building section of my year with about 12 to 14 hours a week. Thanks Windmagnet
 
Website of the week

Ken Wallace sent through this weeks Website of the week for www.swimanything.com
At dawn on August 25, a small group of swimmers will wade into the chilly waters of Lake Tahoe and begin swimming. As a group, they will swim about 44 miles over 2 days â that's more than twice the distance across the English Channel, or roughly 30 times the distance from Alcatraz to San Francisco. Their route will be a diagonal across the middle of the lake, which will take them over areas that are almost a mile deep.
We're determined to succeed not just for ourselves, but for the League to Save Lake Tahoe, which helps keep the Lake Tahoe basin pristine, and for the National Brain Tumor Foundation, in recognition of a friend who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor this summer.  
Please consider making a gift to one of these charities to help us reach our goal of $10,000 in donations. Visit our website at www.swimanything.com for more details. Your support is greatly appreciated!

I have had a saddle cover for years..  mine was getting old and worn out...

Weâll pick three finalist and then we can all have a vote for the winner. Entries close at the end of August. Itâs time to create!

Age grouper of the week


Jacek Nowakowski is this weeks age grouper. There were lots of reasons why he is but the main reason was he is such a great supporter of Triathlon in Poland. He backs a lot of the Polish Ironmen by providing coaching, training camp and gear funding. Itâs people like Jacek that make a difference to our sport.

Website of the week

Tom Newman is setting up a kids triathlon in New York. We thought we would give his website a plug because itâs such a good thing for kids to get involved in. Hereâs his website: www.newmantriathlon.com
We are adding a new aspect to the Website of the Week section of the show. We want to hear about your triathlon clubâs website. Just email it through to us.
