Race day is the big event for triathletes and the time when we get to put all our hard training to the test. Just like training, where swim sets are religiously repeated on the clock, kilometres and power are recorded on the bike and run intervals hit to the nearest second, race day needs to be executed in a similar fashion. It’s not just a case of turn and let the day unfold, it’s about being prepared and setting everything up to allow you to get the most on the day based on your training and preparation.

What are the key characteristics and thought processes, that exist in nearly all great performers whether they are triathletes, executives or musicians? Triathlete Europe’s resident coach, Matt Dixon, looks deeper into these characteristics to help you become a better athlete.

You have aspirations, the best intentions and you’re motivated, but your weekly training is so often limited with that full bucket of life you have to deal with. Sound familiar? So many triathletes face the challenges of daily life in which we compress more an more, and end up with a training approach that sits on top of life, instead of being integrated into life to make a sustainable and effective training approach.
