WHY: We all need a kick in the pants to swim more :)


​
The purpose of this challenge is to create extra motivation to encourage additional time in the pool for the month of March. We can all use a little extra swim training.

Think of it as a focused training block to help promote and super charge your swim.

USA Triathlon recently updated the its competition rules.

The new and updated rules will go into effect on March 15, 2023.

From your new "super shoes" to my fancy wetsuit and that automatic DISQUALIFICATION for your helmet chin strap, don't say you didn't know!

"I want to do something EPIC!"

"Go BIG or go home." 

"I want to do something that scares me."

Aspiring triathletes contact us all of the time for triathlon coaching in preparation for their BIG goals.

​Many times, these people are total beginners want to dive into the sport head first with BIG BIG BIG GOALS. Goals like completing an IRONMAN 70.3® or IRONMAN® for their first ever race, even though they don't own a bike or know how to swim.

​There are a lot of triathlon terms and lingo used by triathletes. If you're new to the sport here are a few terms you should familiarize yourself with. Some, may even impress your experienced triathlete friends.

Below we will list several triathlon terms to help get you up to speed and increase your learning curve.

HILL REPEATS & SPECIFICITY… on the TREADMILL

Even when the weather is nice, the treadmill can still be a GREAT tool to help dial in workouts in regards to specificity.

For example, HILL REPEATS can be easily executed with a set time, incline and recovery which is not always easy when you’re out on the road.

"OMG, that doesn't sound fun. Why would I do such a thing!?!?" Hill repeats help build sport specific strength. They will make you stronger and faster. ​

​Our virtual (coached) group rides are back!  These will be fun, challenge your fitness and add accountability to your winter triathlon training routine. (club members please refer to the Team App)

Starting Saturday, 1/29 we will resume our virtual rides on Zwift. 
​
And while we understand it’s possible the times offered may not be what you’re used to, the ACCOUNTABILITY and FUN of working out along side others is DEFINITELY worth it.

​Jeff Morin enjoys physical and mental challenges. He has proven this by his actions and isn’t afraid to jump outside of his comfort zone. The risk of intentionally making oneself become uncomfortable may seem big, and it is, but the reward is often priceless.
 
At the grand age of 50, Jeff proved to himself once again, he is unstoppable when he commits to a goal. Despite this, he will tell you: “IRONMAN training is not linear. It is a process. 

LIVE on Tuesday, 12/14 @ 7pm

If you are a triathlete and want to learn the most effective ways to improve your swim, this webinar is for you.

We have successfully worked 1 on 1 with literally 100’s of triathletes over the years who are looking to improve their swimming ability. In Tuesday’s webinar, Coach Chris will discuss what has universally worked for EVERYONE.

Meet Gary Yerman. He is a husband, father and managing partner of a successful NYC law firm. 

36 years ago, Gary suffered a freak accident when he was 19, playing football in Germany, while serving in the military. That accident left him debilitated and unable to run.

Despite undergoing 15 surgeries, his situation worsened over time. It got to the point where he was living in excruciating pain and dreaded having to walk more than just a few steps.

Exactly 2 years ago on December 5, 2019 he had a below-the-knee amputation and has never looked back. His goal was to become a triathlete. 

The sport of triathlon requires gear. How much gear depends on the athlete and their goals. However, due to the nature of the sport (3 sports combined as 1).

If you're a new triathlete, there are likely things you'll want to purchase. It can be overwhelming and maybe a bit stressful when deciding what to spend your money on.

Obviously, you’ll need a bike (it doesn’t have to be a tri bike or even a road bike… hybrids and mountain bikes work just fine ;) and it’s also probably a good idea to buy a pair of running shoes and goggles.

However, apart from the obvious, below is a short list (in no order of importance) of what you may want to consider purchasing if it fits your budget.
