Ending off 2020 with a bang, I was working and wanted to contribute more to my phsyical well being and this involved pushing my limits, physically. I think as we are growing our mind in the long haul, we also need to strengthen our phsyical body otherwise it will gradually weaken quicker. I don’t have any science behind to back it up but as a male, i feel my responsability to strive for physical strength.
What I learnt from my first triathalon
Don’t over feed on energy snack during transition Open water swim should be taken more slowly, you tire out very quickly You can put your cap on without wetting your hair(what I learnt to do) Small sips on your ride is more important than over filling before the run component On the run, take your time – you don’t need to push yourself otherwise you may vomit by the end of it Eat as minimal the morning before the triathalon to reduce amount of mass
