When it comes to your bike, there are mistakes that are made over and over again by triathletes new to the Ironman and hopefully I can point them out to you and help you realize your Ironman dream. Some of these mistakes I've made myself over the years, and I've had to learn the hard way.
Don't have your bike tuned up a few days before the big race. I would suggest 3 or 4 weeks would be the best time, so you can put in some mileage on it to make "sure" that everything is working the way it should. You don't want to be out on the bike course race day and find out the mechanic doesn't have the gears set properly and your chain comes flying off as soon as you stand up on the first hill. It happens. All you should really do the last few days is give your bike the best cleaning possible and make sure its lubricated properly. If its shifting o.k. and the brakes work fine, don't mess with it.
This goes for your fit on the bike as well. Race week is not the time to be adjusting your seat height or moving your handlebars. Go with the way it was set all through your training.

The Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.[The

When it comes to healthy weight management, a little common sense goes a long way. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell us that eating fast food every day of the week is not conducive to our health, nor does it add up that a diet void of carbohydrates might possibly contain the essential nutrients that only fiber-rich whole grains, fruits and vegetables can provide. And no matter how you look at it, fatty meats and

What is it about us that makes us tick? Are we in this world just to eat, breathe, and die? Are we merely existing on this plane in a holding pattern for something better? Do the answers to these questions make us human? Many have asked these questions before only to have succeeded in having more questions. I do not have the answers to them and I feel comforted in the fact that others with intellectual capacities much gre

When a company undertakes a search engine optimization program, whether it is performed in-house or outsourced to an SEO service, most of the attention (and rightly so) is focused on the company website. This is the one aspect where there is a feeling of control--once a website is released into the wild, the company will have to see how its site fares against all the other websites out there, whether the other sites are
On average, the chances of getting a flat tire sometime raceday is pretty slim. However, every race you will see people who "do" have flats. As much as it bugs you, take the time to learn how to the change a flat properly. Do it over and over again in your living room. Practice on the back tire. Don't worry about the front. If its your first Ironman, and you're just trying to make the 17 hour cut-off, you don't want to be spending 30 minutes on that tire change. It could ultimately cost you reaching the finish line in time to be recorded as an official finisher. Every year there's people who miss the cut-off by minutes.
If you've trained for months and months and have come to rely on your bike computer for cadence, distance and speed etc., be SURE that your battery isn't going to quit on you 10 miles into the bike. I would spend the ten bucks and put in a new battery for the race.
Also, new battery or not, make sure the computer is working properly on your last bike ride when you get to the race venue. Sometimes travelling can knock the sensor out of alignment with the wheel and it won't work properly or not at all. This used to happen to me all the time when I travelled by car to the race and had my bike on a rack.
If your race is in a very humid, hot destination, I would suggest NOT pumping your tires up over 100. Just put in 70 or 80, go to the start area early on raceday and THEN pump the tires up to your race settin
