After Norseman, whats next? The Inferno!
In General Triathlon, Inferno Triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (February 23, 2010 5:05 pm)
That heading sounds a bit like “out of the frying pan and into the fire” or in this case the Inferno.
If you can remember back as far as August 2009 or if you read my blog, you might recall that my big event for last year was the Norseman Iron distance event in Norway. In [...]

Why a catch up stroke won’t work in open water
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (February 22, 2010 11:07 am)
Yesterday in Lanzarote there was a southerly wind and that meant swimming at our usual spot was a turbulent affair. The waves were about 1m high so getting out was hard and once beyond the breaks it was still pretty choppy. Several points that we regularly teach our athletes became all too apparent during the [...]

Staying Alive on the roads this winter
In Simon Ward, Training of TTC (November 25, 2009 8:54 pm)
As I was out riding recently I was once again reminded of how close we are, on every ride, to a collision with other road traffic. This is compounded every time I hear about a friend or acquaintance who has been knocked off his/her bike. It’s like there’s a list and every time someone else [...]
Returning from Ironworld
In General Triathlon, Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 21, 2009 3:24 pm)
It’s been just over a week since I left Kona (or Ironworld as I referred to it in an earlier blog) and I’m just about over the jetlag. The colder weather in the UK might take a bit longer to adjust to. Mind you I am still persisting with wearing shorts to work, at least [...]
Do as I say…
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (October 16, 2009 7:57 am)

Returning to work after a trip (or a holiday) I generally feel invigorated and highly motivated. Do you feel like this?
The Hawaii ironman marks the end of the season for those lucky enough to compete and for me it’s the same. There’s no point in starting a new training [...]

In Ironman, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (October 10, 2009 8:21 am)
As I promised you yesterday, no sexy kit or other bits and pieces to spend your money on.
This time a quick look around the world famous (at least in Ironworld) Lava Java
and a quick look at the athletes lining up to rack their bikes on Friday afternoon
Tomorrow, its race day. Should be plenty of [...]

After the quick look around the main expo yesterday here are another couple of videos which show you some real nice kit. Too bad you’ve spent all of your money.
The Bike Expo
The Run Shoe Expo
Tomorrow I promise you; No more nice kit. But we will be taking a quick look at Lava Java and the [...]
