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]

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]

Great discussions! I was away over the holiday weekend and what a welcomed conversation to return to.

First off, Jason offers some great ideas.  Unstructured activity or training is always welcomed.  It’s healthy to just do what you want to do for a while.  And sometimes those unstructured, cross training options can be very rewarding.  Like soc…[Read more]

Great questions Brian!  First off, congratulations on the season you had. You made the most of it, and while it wasn’t regular in any means, you came out with exponential growth and conditioning.

As far as next steps, first off, be sure you do your Dumpster Fire Triathlon to cap off your season.  What is next really depends on you and future g…[Read more]

Since Brett created this thread, I am going to circle back to it.  Brett, how did your practice Traverse City HIM go?  Since I heard you crushed it 🙂 will you share some insights into your experience?

What went well?

What didn’t go planned?

Where do you still have opportunity?

Fill us in on your experience since you were one of the few that p…[Read more]

Yes, DCTC made it as easy (and free) as possible to end your season on a high note.  If you have any form of fitness at this point, join in.  You don’t have to do the full thing in one day. It can even be done on separate days.

So yes, just use the drop down menu, select HIP participant and you are ready to go.  And just maybe your Traverse Ci…[Read more]

Well, there is a silver lining!  Nothing like talking to the race director and adjusting race day to suit the weather. 🙂  Glad you had perfect race day weather!

And it set you up for a successful race.  In fact, YOU set yourself up for a successful race venture.  You followed the training plan.  You kept consistent to your training.  And leadi…[Read more]

Did you do your front porch triathlon, Brian?  Or did you do a Chuck Noland and self cancel? Let’s hope not!

What went well?  Any good lessons learned (like not swimming after running)? 🙂

Also, you might get a chance to do your front porch triathlon again and better your time (or at least have more fun).  More details to follow soon!
