3 top reasons for attending a novice training camp
I wish that I had been able to attend a training camp specifically for novice athletes when I was starting out as a triathlete 20+ years ago. Unfortunately there weren’t any and I made lots of mistakes which cost me time, money and a good deal [...]

In General Triathlon, Races, Simon Ward, TTC Coaches of TTC (July 12, 2010 12:25 pm)
Last Saturday I had a nice day watching the Ripon triathlon and meeting old friends. (Incidentally if you want a fun day of racing at a nice location then I’d highly recommend this event)
While everyone else is cheering on the athletes and waiting for their friends or the winner, as a coach I tend to [...]
Blogging is like Training – to be good you need consistency
In General Triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (July 1, 2010 1:00 pm)
Having a good blog that attracts regular interest from eager readers is a bit like training for triathlon. In order to be successful at both, a key ingredient is consistency.
While I have managed an element of consistency in my training recently, sadly the same cannot be said for my blog. I was horrified to [...]
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 [...]
