Ironman Wales DNF-stopper

Don't be one of the 300. Share with anyone who may benefit from the simple, significant gains you can still make, with just 2 weeks to go.

Over the last 5 years, Ironman Wales has endured a 14.3% DNF rate. That's quite high for an Ironman (representing approx. 300 starters). Don't let any of the following compromise your day:

Splash splash!
The swim: Every year people get pulled out of the water on lap 1! Many have done no training in salt water, and/or choppy conditions, and that's certainly something you can still get experience of in the time left. Find your own space, and relax in the water.

Snap!
Mechanicals on the bike.
Carry some basic tools and know how to use them. Most mechanical fails only need a quick fix (

Tri Dewi
CASTLE TO CASTLE DUATHLON
1st March 9am

23km Zwift https://www.zwift.com/uk/events/view/5421738
3km Run - treadmill or outside

Take at your own pace, go full gas, or incorporate a workout into it.

Timing is optional. Message them over to me if you're interested in seeing how you got on against your friends or club mates.
There are loads of great multi-sport events taking place all over Wales, but if you can't make one outdoors, or the weather ends up being terrible, get involved with this virtual duathlon:
It's FREE, and you're all invited.

Wales has over 400 castle sites, hence the route choice 🙂 and since it's in conjunction with WGT / SummitFitness, there's also a summit on the bike route - Castle KOM.
(Wales also has a lot of beautiful summits.)

Get involved with this, or one of the outdoor events and celebrate St David's Day with the triathlon community.

BASE

The training phase where you create a strong, err, base - to build on as your season progresses.

* Target your weaknesses
* Allocate more time and resources to strength work
* Mix in cross-training
* Reinforce strong nutritional habits
* Embrace the lack of pressure, and volume, which may come later in the year
* Views of K2 optional - more likely to be a load of sweaty people at your local gym

Happy training!
