Swim was better than last time at 36:49 but still need to improve

Bike was 1:18 including T2 (my cycling is Work In Progress)

Run was 56 mins

Swim Video Analysis at PJ Palms 19/8/2016

I had wanted to get a video analysis of my swim in Perth earlier but some friends said it was a waste of money. I had swam 1500m at the Aqualthon in 43 mins in January 2016 which was rather slow.

I was getting nowhere in my swimming. So I went for a video analysis of my swim at PJ Palms with Coach Shauqie.

I knew I was bad. But didn't know where I was bad. Now I can see where I am bad. 

Give myself three months to correct!!!

Its a journey.

Bought new full carbon wheels - Giant SLR1 aero

Garside study

an Garside and Dominic Doran published an interesting study in June of 2000 in the Journal of Sports Sciences. The study is known as “The Garside Study".

The Garside study tested athletes in a biomechanical setting, in other words, aerodynamics on the bike were not a factor in the results: Aerodynamic benefits would be in addition to the biomechanical benefits from a triathlon bike. 

Test subjects performed a 40 kilometer (24.8 mile) time trial on a road geometry bike in a stationary trainer followed immediately by a 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) run on a treadmill. Later the same test subjects repeated the test protocol but used a triathlon geometry bike on the stationary trainer then transitioned immediately to the treadmill for the 10 kilometer run. 

Time savings for athletes running off the triathlon bike were enormous: They averaged a full 5 minutes time savings on the 10 kilometer run when they transitioned off a tri bike as opposed to transitioning off a road bike. 

Simply put, you’ll run faster and more comfortably off a triathlon bike than a road bike.
