Asics Gel Kayano 16 (2010)
This is, of course, Asics answer to its own Kayano 15, and, no, it’s not the same shoe as the 15; it’s more to your liking, or less, depending on your foot and ankle structure.

Swimming is a big fat hassle, until you’re good in the pool, and then swimming is the easiest leg of the triathlon, and when I say easy, I mean by far it’s the easiest.

Beginners: Week 16
Have you ever considered where bike racks come from? I hadn’t, until I decided to run a triathlon. Now I suddenly need a million of them, and sadly they don’t show up in the Sears catalog.

As an intellectual exercise I asked myself who, over the course of their lives, have made the most money in, or from, the sport of triathlon. It’s not who you probably think.

Message posted by: Stacey U. OK, my hubby and I have taken the plunge- day 1 of p90x (lean). I got up at 5am to get my workout in before Scott leaves for work @ 6am. The video (core synergistics)was tough- I was strong (coordinated) with the weights, but pretty bad on the core work and pushups. (Tempted to try it again tonight, but I won’t…) I felt like it was a good workout- but different from what I’m used too- swimming, biking, running. I’m going to add those as I go this week. More importantly (to me) is the diet. I planned my meals for the first few days, went shopping, and packed my lunch and snacks today. I stuck to my plan and ate only what I packed. And dinner’s cooking right now, before I can get too hungry. This is huge for me because I am the infamous fast-food junkie, not necessarily for taste (ok…sometimes), but for the convenience w/ our crazy schedules. I’m not going to post photos or measurements or anything like that. My goals are to lose 10lbs of bodyfat, and strengthen my core and low back before startn IM traning in Feb. Wish me luck!

Learning to swim is often the biggest hurdle for adults getting into triathlon. With all the literature and videos out there, is a coach necessary to get started? This month Sara McLarty debates Tim Edwards, a coach with North Coast Endurance in Cleveland, Ohio. Sara: With family and work schedules, very few people have the ability to train with a coach. Instead, it’s much easier to purchase a DVD or book that they can follow at their own pace. Most are cheaper than a session with a coach, plus you can also find free videos on YouTube. Tim: Most triathletes have Type A personalities and they are very driven by schedules. Getting together with a coach for an hour is not a huge hurdle to overcome. Newbies are often lost in the mountain of data. With so much to think about, they don’t have a logical progression to follow as they start their journey in the pool. A coach can break down the individual skills and move on only when they have mastered them. Sara: Triathlete recently outlined a simple way to create your own underwater video camera. You can film yourself in the pool and analyze your technique each week as you progress. Compare your video to professional swimmers online. Tim: Athletes can videotape themselves, but the feedback is delayed. They have to wait to download the video and spend time comparing. Trying a skill, having it analyzed by a coach, learning the corrections and trying it again is compressed into minutes—not days. This progression is worth the extra couple of bucks. RELATED: How To Analyze Your Own Swim Stroke Sara: I’ve coached some athletes who just won’t listen to what I say, even if I’ve told them a million times. They finally end up figuring it out themselves and when that happens, it sticks. Learning on your own forces you to think about what you are doing and why you are doing it. Tim: The swim usually creates the most stress for a new triathlete. A coach is able to mentally help out by being there in this new environment. I swim with many athletes the first time they are in open water, “holding their hands” as they get comfortable. No video or book will reassure them when they first encounter a breaking wave or a plant wrapping around their hand. Sara: I can’t really argue against having a coach with you for your open-water swim training. Other than going with a very experienced friend, I don’t recommend any athletes trying open water without some support system nearby. Tim: Empowering the athlete is excellent. Athletes who really want to reach that next level of competition need to have a high level of investment in the process. One of the best ways for athletes to learn is to combine video of their practice with analysis of the technique. Many athletes I have coached have finally “got it” when they can see with their own eyes. Triathlete final thoughts: Videos and books can get you started, but a great coach can take you much further in your swim training.

Reigning four-time Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington announced on her website that she will not compete in Ironman events in 2012 to pursue “other opportunities”. See the news release from her website, Chrissiewellington.org , below and check back to Triathlete.com as we continue to cover this breaking story. Photo: Nils Nilsen Four time World Champion and World Ironman Distance Record Holder, Chrissie Wellington has announced that she’ll be taking a break from competing in Ironman during 2012 to explore other opportunities, including the forthcoming publication of her autobiography, A Life Without Limits . Chrissie, who won her fourth World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, last October and maintained her unbeaten record at Ironman distance – making it 13 victories from 13 races – said of her decision, “I’ve given absolutely everything to Ironman over the past five years. However, this year I’ve decided to take a break as I would like to spend more time focusing on other pursuits including dedicating more time to my chosen charities, the publication of my book and more active promotion of the sport in the UK, as well as giving myself the chance to explore and seize new opportunities within triathlon and outside. I feel that I wouldn’t be able to pursue all of these different goals whilst simultaneously dedicating the energy and time needed to compete in Ironman events and treat them with the respect and complete dedication they deserve. PHOTOS: Chrissie Wellington In Kona The past five years have been absolutely incredible and I am extremely happy, proud and content with everything that I have achieved in the sport – topping it all off with the race of my life in Kona last year. I have always seen triathlon as a part of my life, rather than the be all and end all, and am looking forward to a little more variety and balance by pursuing other interests, as well as spending more time with my family and friends. I am really excited about what the future holds and being able to spend more time around the sport without the commitment of full time ironman training and racing”.
