If you don’t know – ask

A lot of athletes that are new to the sport of triathlon, have a bad run in with a snobby bike store guy, a know-it-all swimmer, or a self proclaimed hardcore runner – and become afraid of asking questions and looking stupid.  While figuring things out the hard way is a sure fire way to learn lessons for life, a lot of time and effort can be spared by probing a little and asking questions. If someone starts talking about a great track workout, ask why they do it. How many repeats? What is the goal? Don’t know what the difference between SRM and SRAM? How exactly does one do 7/8’s catch up drill? Ask Ironmantriathlontips! You may be pleasantly surprised by how wiling people are to help you out.
