Great video! I did my first sprint last year and one thing that really helped me for that first race was going to an orientation that was hosted by a local tri club. There was no substitute for having 20+ people in the water and simulating the start of the race. I didn’t realize how chaotic it was going to be. So many arms and legs hitting each other, splashing, trying to sight the buoy, weeds in the water, turning at the buoy, when to stop etc. it was very helpful!

@PatrickDelorenzi 2 жыл бұрын

So true! I also did a practice race (Olympic distance) with a mass start and it was CRAZY! So glad I did that before getting in the water of a proper race, the swim is for sure the biggest barrier of entry yes because it’s hard but also because of the fear factor and sheer panic of being in the “washing machine” 🔥🔥⚡️⚡️🌪🌪😂😂

@justincrediblelife Жыл бұрын

Mate I loved the video, really appreciate all of the info and learnings. I'm also worried about running injuries as have loads in the past, so I think I will take your advice and get the intervals in on the bike and do Zone 2 runs. Priority is not the time but being injury free and being able to do multiple events. Thankyou will rewatch this a few times as there's so much rich info to absorb!

@PatrickDelorenzi Жыл бұрын

100% I can recommend the bike intensity and run consistency strategy unless you are gunning for a world champ spot. Running is about getting comfortable at long distance submaximal effort, getting the legs conditioned etc. Once you reach the potential time you can get just by training this way (a sub 1:35 70.3 run or sub 3:30 IM marathon), then it’s time to include some intensity on the run. As a starting point, just doing zone 2 and some tempo work on the run is Kore than enough 🙌 Get good shoes like Nike invincible 3 or Hoka stinson ATR 6, run only on trails and avoid pavement, make sure you always warm up 10 min before tuning, wear compression socks and apply heat to the calves after every session to recover faster, never run two days in a row, and you should be good 👍

@timothybracken585 9 ай бұрын

Mate, running is the most strenuous exercise on the body so I believe in Patrick theory to reduce the impact of the runs and do more tempo runs which will help prevent injury and muscle fatigue.

No swim experience and no bike experience. Plus I have a few years on you :) Me being 52. But sat on the sofa last night after a great day of training when the desire to build to an ironman hit me. I just want to push myself as far as I can go and be more than just the average. Blessings from Australia

Had an MRI a week ago. Turns out I have a tumour in my leg!! Likely to be benign but has frustrated some aspects of training. Busy with some calisthenics and shorter runs < 10km so as not to aggravate the leg. Sorry for the long answer.

Patrick, that was an excellent video. I have been doing triathlons since 1985 and it has taken me 30 years to figure out the things that you came up with when preparing for your first 70.3. Your gel analysis was right on, and it took me until my 5th half iron to come up with 2 gels per hour and only the first 2 with caffeine. Swim technique is critical and looking at how your stroke changes over 400m is key. I recently changed to Hoka One One and noticed the value of cushioning for the run training. Keep up your training and focus, and I was not surprised to see your sub-11 for a full IM in 2022!

Great video. I am currently training for my first 70.3 and on my third week of a twenty week training session. I appreciate the humility and honesty in this video as it eased my current mindset. I’ve struggled with spending so much time alone as my normal routine has been with a running group in our community. I realized quickly how drastic my schedule would change. One question I do have- how much strength and conditioning did you incorporate?

@PatrickDelorenzi 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Steven! Glad you liked it, and hope it provides some useful insights! Yes being alone can be both a blessing, but also taxing on out mind.. But if we manage to spin it ot win it and dedicate the time to working on ourselves, the benefits can go way further than triathlon : ) Strenght training - 3x sun salutations, push ups, bicep curls and planks on the bosu ball every morning, about 15 minutes easy upon waking : )

Hi mark! Thank you for the comment. Yes I am very happy with how the day went! I am filming the full race recap vid where I explain where those dreaded 4 minutes come from (T1 problems!). Would have loved to go sub 5 but it will be for next time 😃 Happy training for your 70.3, which one are you doing?

Did my first Olympic distance like that as well. Cheers. Don't always need an event but events are amazing

Great work! True I agree, events are not 100% necessary but they can help gives a little kick and reality check haha 🙌

Hey Patrick, this video is awesome! I’m currently training for my first 70.3 and gained a lot of new insights that helped me calm my pre-race nerves! Also very touching, I had goosebumps and shed a tear a few times :) I only have one question: you mentioned in another video that you have quite some bike repair stuff with you on course, but I can’t figure out where you keep that, your bike seems amazingly lean and clean. Keep up the good work and inspiring the world!

Hi! At the moment I have a mini pump, tyre levers, Chan breaker tool with a chain link taped to the horizontal section of a Topeak Omni tri backup rear bottle cage holder. I put a spare tube underneath the saddle, taped with black electrical tape. I think it works fairly well if you don’t want to add in and extra box / bento. Another option would be to have all the tools etc in an empty water bottle on the bike, but as of 2023 I would recommend stashing the various tools where you can using electrical tape

@@bekycsenge just a note if you are not comfortable with changing or repairing a tire, like myself. you can buy Gatorskin tubeless tires which is a tougher tire and can prevent flats from happening.

Thanks for sharing your journey. You’re an inspiration for sure! I’m turning 50yr the week after my 70.3 so it’s a bucket list triathlon for me if I can do it!? We will see.. I have been training consistently but yesterday I missed a long run session partially due to spending time with my daughter, having to do grocery shopping and achieving my longest distance on the bike in Saturday which was painful to be honest. I have lower back pain and knee issues sadly. Still, I’m going to keep going and at least try my best.

@johneleasar9878 9 ай бұрын

jnwano! Keep going. I hope you can reach your goal or at least grow in preparing! Did my first marathon 2 weeks ago at age 43. Now I wonder if I could overcome another beast like a triathlon or 70.3. I think it´s all about having the beginner mindset. Just start and grow during the journey.

Have been training for the ironmaori half ironman in napier new zealand over the last couple of years as last years was cancelled due to covid. Have got up to 1500 metres in 40 to 45 minutes in the swim, am a very slow swimmer. 70km on the bike in 3.15 to 3.22, 15km on the run in 1.35 to 1.40. Still want to do a 2 km swim, 4 hrs on the bike, a 2 hr run, brick sessions and open water swims. Just want to finish but...... I am bricking it!!!🤞🤞 Brilliant video, and information 👍👍
