6. Difference that important of the small details.
As the great coach Joel Filiol says "Real innovation in sport is to do the basics really well, simplifies !!"
Leave for later the small details that the high performance athletes who play the victory for seconds should take care of,
Enjoy your first steps and competitions.
7. Take care before, during and after each training.
And remember you do to enjoy.
-
Before: Remember to feed yourself well and respect the digestion times, check or prepare the material so that you do not forget anything and That everything is ready.
-
During: Food remains primordial, Depending on the intensity or time of the year the needs will change. Do not throw the gels and bars wrappers, respect the environment and common areas.
-
After: Gather all your belongings and do not forget "The Metabolic Window" is the beginning of a good recovery. Save the material, clean the boats, tend the towels or pool material, if you do your homework The useful life of your bike, material and "gadgets" will be greater.
8. Make a list with the material, the schedules and the things that you need.
In the "desired" day "D" either the first competition or successive. "Unfortunately" the triathlon requires a long list to take into account, that little by little it will be greater as your passion is increasing. Everyone has forgotten things, there are always people who can help you at that time, but they can better avoid better than better,
You will save stress added to the competition In itself (I say it from experience).
And remember
The competition is a medium, not an end, enjoy the day to day in your training, your classmates and freedom and well -being that sport gives you.
9. Look for evidence that complements your shortcomings
The triathlon allows us
You can look for objectives in that segment that costs us to improve emphasizing for a preparatory mesocyc, either in swimming, cycling or athletics.
To do this we can program along with our coach or clubs focused on one of the sports separately, the best time to do so is during autumn-winter. In preseason (or transition periods)
We can try other sports as a preparation (or complement) Depending on the area where we live: routes with the Mountain Bike, mountain races, white triathlon, skiing, surf Great motor baggage.
10. Create an illusion with perspective, dream !! But do it awake !!
Enjoy and "fidelize" in sport in our first steps as a athlete requires capturing the essence of it, enjoying the freedom offered by "outdoor" training, contact with nature and sharing it with friends. Running the field or the mountain, enjoy a bicycle outlet with “La Grupeta” and stop to have coffee or swim without looking at the clock to “feel the water” will be in most cases
The best start not to be overwhelmed with times or brands.
