Well, Ironman Triathlon Tips is going to be on hold for a bit. H and T will be starting their full time effort in the sport of long course triathlon and driving south to California. We’ll get going on the Internet connection as soon as possible and get back on the daily tips right away. A few minor details to work out but it should be good. If you sign up for the email feed you’ll start getting emails again once the tips start coming. We’re hoping to incorporate a video section as well.
On that note – today’s tip is about driving to your race.
With the cost of air travel – plus the need to pack your bike, driving to a race can be a great option. If you need to power-drive be sure to get in plenty of rest stops. And not just a quick ‘out of the car and pee’ rest stop either, take the time for a good 10-15 minute jog every few hours. Playing hacky sack is another great way to get the muscles and joints moving. Hacky Sack will loosen up the tight driving muscles. Hip flexors in particular. Kick a soccer ball or lie on the grass and stretch. Anything to shake out the legs every few hours.
And we’re off…check back soon or sign up for email/RSS notification to let you know when we’re back in action. Plenty of old tips to browse through as well.
