Without any triathlon race reports for this year, I thought I write about some other triathlon related stuff, sort of.
It’s Wednesday afternoon, time for my regular 3000 yds swim workout along the shoreline of Lake Movil Bay. I was on the third repetition of my 5 x 200 yd set (~ 2300 yds into my workout, and about 1/4 mile from my place) when I got a bit too close to a patch of reeds. I brushed with...

We got permission to repost some of their submissions. We'll post others soon...

At times like these, it can be hard to stay motivated about your training. Perhaps your target events have been postponed or canceled; maybe you’re social distancing, or homeschooling your children while working from home. Maybe you’re just worried about your job, health, and family. Either way, if you can find the time, working out is still important.
This blog will provide you with three great reasons to keep training consistently, even in extreme circumstances.
Reason 1: You’ll Stay Fit (Even if You Decrease Your Volume!)
It may sound obvious, but if you stop training altogether, you’ll lose fitness. And the longer you hit pause, the more fitness you’ll lose. Many of us are all-too-aware of this fact, and it may be causing you some anxiety—relax, it’s not all bad! ...
