Good Moring…I really enjoy your comments…I am 68…had a weight problem about 6 years ago…weighed about 250…started walking and running and am now at 185…Qualified for Boston in 2005 (My first Marathon) and completed Boston in 2007…In 2008 I completed 12 full marathons and 3 Sprint Triathlons…Swimming with the Danville Masters Swim Club in Kentucky…Would like to do a Half Ironman in the future if I can get my swimming improved…
Hey Kerry,
Thanks for your short videos. They are very helpful.
I’m fairly new to triathlons and I’m not very familiar with all the terminology.
What is a “brick”?
Thanks so much for your weekly videos! I finished my first sprint in November and now I’m totally hooked on the sport and training with a group to do an Olympic in May. I’ve been running and biking almost everyday, and have been a bit neglectful in the swim. When I do get in the pool I’m aware that this is very different from open water. How often do you do open water swims? Do you go with other people? How do you map your course, what safety measures do you use? etc, how does that all work? You have been very helpful in my training process. Thank You!
A “brick” is when you workout two disciplines back to back, ie swimming for 30mins followed by an 1 hour bike. helps with practicing the transition and simulating how you may feel on race day amongst other things.
