• How many gels?
• Do I need a wetsuit?
• Why do they have so many bags?
• Where do I start for the swim?
• What is my cut off time on each leg? (if you are worried about that, that means you haven’t been training)

2016 Triathlon Season 

Is it the adrenaline rush of the finish line? The discipline and structure of training? Or the sense of community you feel from fellow triathletes? Maybe it’s a little bit of everything that makes triathlon so indescribably addicting.

Whatever your reason, we’re giving you one more! Make a decision in 2016 on what races you want to do. If it is a Olympic Distance or up to an Ironman Distance, now it is the time to start building your strengths and weaknesses!

Many athletes from the club have races towards the end of the year and may others have started doing their Marathon training. If  you need guidance on how to plan your training and how does the club can help, please reach out to me.

CFL Tri Club Weekly Update – September 14 – 21, 2015

Shut up in There! What really goes in your head while you are running? The difference between a good run and a crummy one begins in your brain. If you believe a workout will be tough or if you focus on feelings of boredom or fatigue, your body will follow your mind, making it more difficult to have an enjoyable outing. The good news is this mechanism works in revers, too. If you can catch yourself in the act of negative thinking, it’s possible to turn your mind – and your run – around. Have you hear the following voices in your head: The whiner: “I can’t believe how much long I have to run.” Focus on the next walk break or the next run segment. Look forward to the next tree or benchmark. The Inner Lazy Man: “I’m too tired.” Try repeating positive self talk. The Inner Snail: “I’m too slow.” If you don’t push yourself, you won’t get faster. Other runners may be doing speed work and working harder than you. Use that as your inspiration. Feed off their energy and pick up the pace a bit. Literally! In other words show up to practice!

Racing your training….not good!

Many athletes are hitting great numbers while running or biking! However, when it comes race day you try to hit the same pace and power output… you just can’t get there.

While training should challenge you, it’s not meant to test you in all of the same ways that racing does.  If it does, you are racing not training. And if you race in training eventually you’ll plateau and won’t be able to match your best practice performances on race day.

The athlete can be pushing themselves too hard in the training, pushing for faster times to show they are in greater and greater race shape. But, many athletes can be racing the training and on race day, they can race flat, tired and unable to come anywhere close to what their training suggested.

Therefore, it is very important to follow your paces during training and don’t be going to hard.  As you approach your next big race, don’t leave your race in training.  Make racing special by saving your best efforts for race day.

2nd Earthquake Hits Nepal – Save The Children – Please Help

http://www.savethechildren.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1110796&supid=380297847

Hi everyone,

As you are aware, I am racing Ironman Texas in 5 days. I am really looking forward to it. However, if you weren’t aware, The unthinkable has happened – a second major earthquake, this one estimated to be magnitude 7.1, struck Nepal early this morning. Devastated communities, still reeling from the April 25 quake, have suffered additional death and injuries, damage and destruction, making an already-desperate situation much worse.

I am raising fund for the Save the children foundation, your help is required. Please donate at least $20 – 100 to help these children in need. Many children and families are now so traumatized they are afraid to enter buildings and are sleeping outside. This is especially worrying given that the monsoon season is due to start this month, which will put the health of babies and children at further risk.

Save the Children is distributing desperately needed plastic sheets for shelter, as well as hygiene supplies and water purification tablets and household kits – all of which will become increasingly critical once the rains begin. Please help.

Thanks,

Hector L Torres
