Why do I need a triathlon Coach?

When I talk with triathletes I frequently get asked “Why do I need a triathlon coach?” And, you know what? I think that is a reasonable question to ask. After all there is a wealth of information out there about how to prepare for all manner of events and most athletes are highly motivated.

In a few days time I’m heading over to Malaga to run a training camp for Ironman athletes. Now a good training camp should be an opportunity to complete a great block of training.
