@ Justin
Honestly I feel like swimming in super windy, super choppy conditions is something you can only truly get used to through practice, so kudos for actually grabbing it by the horns and taking full advantage of the opportunity. If you end up doing an early/late season windy race next year (looking at you, Rumpus in Bumpass), you’ll be so…[Read more]

Congratulations Justin!  Impressive that you took on your triathlon in the ocean!  Now that is a major feat while not having ideal swimming access this season.  If you were pleased with your results, this is a true to compliment to your hard work this season.  Nice work stepping up and making this a rewarding season…enough that you aspire to tak…[Read more]

Coach AJ,

I was able to complete my Dumpsterfire Tri this weekend! Luckily, I had access to open water and completed all three diciplines, which was nice. It was windy and cool out in Delaware but all things considered (swimming in 1-2 ft waves and 15 mph winds was not super fun) I was really happy with the results.

Speaking of results – do you…[Read more]

Anyone want to join Brett on some training fun?  Remember you get out of training (and racing) what you put into it.  While it was a disappointing season from a race perspective, it does not need to be a total loss.  Step up, have fun and sweat a little!  Fall is the best time to train 🙂

Good luck with your Dumpster Fire Tri (and Richmond Hal…[Read more]

Next up: Resting for 2-3 weeks with no structured training

I may get out do a ride and run to qualify for the Dumpster Fire Triathlon going on through the club.

Then, the Richmond Marathon & Half are still a go in November.  They are setting up a course along a paved trail that will be open to racers for three weeks and it’ll still be chip…[Read more]

A 20 minute personal best!? That’s fantastic Brett!

It sounds like you had a host of good lessons learned.  However you also had a lot of hard work that you put into practice throughout the season that really helped you elevate your outcome and performance.

Your nutrition was well planned and well executed.  We know this is your energy for the r…[Read more]

Thanks Jason & Coach AJ.  My practice race up in Michigan was a success with some good pre-race anxiety, start line adrenaline, some mental battles on the bike, and some hamstring cramps on the run.  Lessons were learned and at the end of the day it was a 20 min PB at the 70.3 distance for me.  Now that I’ve had a week to come down from the ex…[Read more]
