As we all know, 2020 has been pretty much an abysmal year for racing.
So I spent a lot of time building a site, IronmanHacks, with tips and tricks to a faster triathlon.
It features 101 tips, interviews with legends like Dave Scott, Mark Allen, Craig Alexander and more.
It has a pace calculator where you can sum up your swim, bike, and run along with the transitions and get the final time.
There's also a nutrition calculator with more than 200 common endurance fuels in its database. You tell it how long you'll be on the bike or running and how many calories, carbs, and how much sodium you need per hour. Then, you choose from the 200 foods - choose those you have access to or plan on racing with. It will then tell you how many of each to take to hit your hourly nutrient targets.
These calculators are also available in an app, along with a packing checklist.
The idea is that you plan your future races (paces and times of the swim, bike, run), nutrition, and also what you need to bring to the race (those things go in the packing checklist).
Then, next year you can try to beat those times - the app can store your results from year to year and you'll have those targets handy.
I also set up a YouTube channel documenting some of the tips and other things.
Finally, and most fun of all, is the weekly newsletter I send out which you can subscribe to here.
