Race Day Checklist
Preparing for a race can feel a bit overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. Whether you’re tackling a Triathlon, taking on a Duathlon, diving into a swim, having a solid race day checklist can make all the difference.
This article walks you through everything you need to know to ensure you’re ready for race day, with a few tips that even seasoned pros might appreciate.
Practical Advice for Female Athlete
For International Women’s Day, Coach Philip from Tri Training Harder spoke to some athletes about some of the female-specific barriers they may feel or people new to endurance sports like triathlon may think.
As a male coach, he was less interested in the science behind the differences; there is plenty of air-time about that. Instead, he was more interested in practical solutions to what some women may consider deal-breakers for getting into this sport.
