What an awesome display of athletic courage & ability by both Craig Alexander & Chrissie Wellington at the Ironman World Triathlon Championship in Hawaii yesterday.

After giving Macca some worried moments last year, Craig has certainly learnt the lessons & is a worthy winner this year.

As for Chrissie, is there anyone in her league right now? I doubt it. And to top it all, she’s just an all round, down to earth, friendly person.

Instead of me re-writing the whole story, here’s one report, well written as always.

More comment to follow…

Someone once said, “If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got!” Wise words indeed.

And yet that’s what I see athletes I speak to doing year after year with their triathlon training.They repeat the same workouts in the same way at the same time of year, take breaks in the same weeks they always have, enter the same races they always do, attend the same warm weather camps… and get the same results.

It’s not hard to understand why they do it though. It’s easier to do the things you know, there’s little or no risk involved and after all, if you know the results you’re going to get you’re not going to be embarrassed.

Unfortunately, you’re not going to get significantly faster either. To improve significantly, you’re going to have to change something.

In this upcoming series of posts, I’m going to cover some of the aspects of writing your triathlon training plan that could just revolutionise the way you train… and the results you get.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next in the series…

That’s right, within the next 6 weeks, I will be publishing The Triathlon Handbook right here on this very website. Unlike the plethora of books recently published on the subject, this one is different. For one thing, I’m not initially going to publish it in the traditional manner… I’ve decided that it will be an ebook first. Why?

Well, unlike a traditional book bought in the bookstore, The Triathlon Handbook will be updated regularly with all the newest and best information that becomes available as a result of all the research constantly being done by sports scientists all over the world. in order to get such up-to-date information, you’d have to go out & buy a new edition of the book every so often. And having watched friends of mine publish their books the traditional way, I also know just how long it takes for a publisher to get a new edition out there - often the information is out of date before it’s even published. Not so The Triathlon Handbook: As soon as I see something major, it’ll be in there.

And more than that, The Triathlon Handbook will come with loads of extras, which you’d never find in with a conventional book in a conventional store.

Keep an eye on this blog for the launch date & grab your copy at the special launch price as soon as it’s published. There’ll be more details about this and all facets of The Triathlon Handbook here as the launch date gets ever closer…
