What do the fastest triathlon bikers have in common?

Powerful Triathlon Bikers: Talking the Talk but Can't Always Walk the Walk

I think the big thing that all the fastest bikers in triathlon has if they love talking about it, oh my days. They think they're heroes because they're so strong on the bike and their power, they sit on the front. You don't hear the fastest swimmers-- you never hear Josh Amberger talking a big swim up. Patrick Lange very rarely talks up some of his fastest runs. But definitely in the men's side, those big power bikers they like to tell everyone. And the only reason they often don't win is because everyone else is drafted even though they haven't been given a drafting penalty. You know they say, bike for show, run for though.

The fastest bikers in triathlon love to talk about their strength and power, but they often don't win because everyone else is drafting them even though they don't get a penalty. Bike for show, run for dough is the saying that applies to this situation.

The fastest triathlon bikers have a common trait: they love talking about their biking prowess. They take pride in their strength and power on the bike, often sitting at the front. Interestingly, you don't hear the fastest swimmers or runners boasting as much. However, despite their biking skills, these power bikers don't always win because others may draft behind them, even if no drafting penalties are given. As the saying goes, bike for show, run for dough.

What was your most painful workout and how did you get through it?

Enduring Pain for Peak Performance: Overcoming Physical and Mental Challenges

Sorry, what is the most painful workout? Jamie? And how do I get through? I think there's two types of painful work out for me as a really hard vo2max track session. And it's painful because I am just bubbling over with lactic acid, my legs and arms are screaming to stop and by the end of it. I've literally thrown up on the track after my last rep. That is really really painful. I think the other type of pain is that is the mental pain. It. Those sessions that quite arduous leading up to a big race and Iron Man in 2017. When I was living in Boulder. I knew I had to do a 200 km ride with a really hard block of effort. And if I filled, well, it was a simple easy, but very doable session and I had to run off it as well. And and and I just struggled and I and and I guess that to me was painful because I knew I had to do it. I knew I had to get it done. It was, it was, you know, it was the last big long as super long block. I don't do that every day, but but it was, It was kind of killing me. Not not just sat there not wanting to do it and even when I was doing it, it got to a point where I was thinking three and a half four hours in and I had to do an out and back because if I did a loop, there's a little shortcut. So, you know, you've got to pay Games with yourself to fight the pain and that the, the mental pain and anguish was just terrible. And I remember, I finished it. I was a park a place called coot Lake in Boulder. Do my bike ride? Come back, do a lap of the reservoir 10 km, and always go to this sandwich, place for Snarf's and all that pain, just melted away because I used to get a great chicken sandwich. And if it went, well, I've got extra cheese on it. And, and it's funny how seriously pain is temporary, but that Glory, even Glory, that, that Euro for that, feeling of the accomplishment that you have overcome something last forever. So yeah, pain is temporary guys. Remember that?

Two types of painful workouts for me are a hard VO2max track session and mental pain. The mental pain is the hardest to overcome but it is possible with determination and perseverance. Pain is temporary but the feeling of accomplishment and glory lasts forever.

The most painful workout for me is a challenging VO2 max track session. It's physically painful as my body is overwhelmed with lactic acid, and my legs and arms scream to stop. I've even thrown up on the track after completing the last repetition. That level of pain is intense.

However, there's another type of pain that I find equally challenging - the mental pain. It's the struggle during arduous training sessions leading up to a big race. I remember a specific instance before an Ironman race in 2017 when I had to complete a 200 km ride with a tough block of effort, followed by a run. Mentally, it was difficult because I knew I had to push through and get it done. I felt the weight of the task and the pressure to perform.

During that session, I had to play mind games with myself to fight the mental pain and anguish. I remember being three and a half to four hours into the ride, contemplating whether to take a shortcut or complete the full loop. It was a constant battle.

But in the end, I finished the workout. The pain melted away when I rewarded myself with a delicious chicken sandwich from a place called Snarf's in Boulder. It's funny how something as simple as a sandwich can make the pain feel worth it.

Ultimately, pain is temporary. The feeling of accomplishment and overcoming challenges lasts much longer. So, remember that pain is temporary, and the sense of achievement is what endures.

Socks or no socks for the 70.3 and Ironman run?

Socks vs No Socks: The Secret to a Blisters-Free Ironman Run

Always sucks for the five to ten seconds. It takes extra guaranteed. No blisters. No foot chafing. No Robin. It is a no brainer recently. Oceanside 2022. Holly Lawrence had an amazing race, but my gosh, one of her shoes had change color by the end of the Run Red raw, you do that, except get that occasional freak. Athlete, who has got a know like elephant feet. And I don't mean large at all. But I mean, the skin must be so rough. Cuz they just get away with it. They never ever use socks. But yeah, as an app if you're an amateur there put socks on even if you ride in socks, maybe even put fresh socks on so they're nice and dry and ready. But yeah, sucks all the way 70.3 and an Ironman.

It sucks to put on shoes for a few seconds, but it's necessary for amateur athletes to put socks on even if they're riding in them. This helps prevent blisters, foot chafing and other issues. Oceanside 2022 was an amazing race and Holly Lawrence was awesome.

For the 70.3 and Ironman run, it is recommended to wear socks. It only takes an extra five to ten seconds but guarantees no blisters, foot chafing, or discomfort. It's a no-brainer. In a recent race, Holly Lawrence had an amazing performance, but one of her shoes changed color due to the rawness of her feet by the end of the run. While there may be the occasional exceptional athlete who can go without socks, it's best for amateurs to wear socks for added comfort and protection. Consider using fresh, dry socks if you already ride with socks. So, in conclusion, socks all the way for the 70.3 and Ironman races.

What does a typical day of nutrition look like?

Adriana's Daily Nutrition: Balanced, Varied, and Intuitive!

Hi, Adriana, typical day of nutrition. Every day is different. Really? I try and have three balanced meals a day. I normally wake up have an expresso on a Sunday. I do my long run, fasted. Come back normally have a couple of eggs, some avocado, some toast, and plenty of water throughout and I use electrolyte tabs just to keep my electrolytes up lunch. Maybe a chicken salad or actually on a Sunday. We probably have a roast dinner. So roast chicken roast. I was in all the trimmings with my family and in the evening something a little bit lighter, maybe two coffees during the day. I kind of don't weigh everything called my calories. It's kind of like not my style, but I know what? When my body craves things? I eat. And I know if I've got a big day coming up, I'll prepare for that by eating more. So yeah, every day is different but on the whole healthy balanced diet, try and have real foods as much as possible clean, you know, fresh fresh produce. Jesus. Hope that's answered your question. Bye.

I typically have three balanced meals a day, such as eggs, avocado, toast and plenty of water with electrolyte tabs. Sundays usually include a roast dinner with the family, and other days something lighter. I don't count calories, but listen to my body when it craves things and prepare for big days by eating more.

A typical day of nutrition for me varies, but I aim for three balanced meals throughout the day. In the morning, I usually start with an espresso and on Sundays, I do my long run on an empty stomach. Afterward, I have a meal consisting of a couple of eggs, avocado, toast, and plenty of water. I also use electrolyte tabs to maintain my electrolyte levels.

For lunch, I might have a chicken salad or, on Sundays, enjoy a roast dinner with all the trimmings, spending time with my family. In the evening, I opt for something lighter. Throughout the day, I may have a couple of coffees. I don't weigh everything or count calories, as it's not my style. Instead, I listen to my body and eat when I feel hungry. If I have a big day ahead, I make sure to eat more to prepare.

Overall, my approach focuses on a healthy and balanced diet, incorporating real foods and fresh produce as much as possible. Each day is different, but I prioritize nourishing my body with wholesome choices. I hope that answers your question. Bye!
