Do you really need to train in the open water?
June 15, 2012 18:22I came across this article on the Competitor website, and wanted to weigh in. My take: You definitely need to do both pool swimming and open water swimming to prepare for a race, unless of course your race takes place in a pool. There’s no good way to practice a lot of drills in the […]

June 12, 2012 17:31Howard Miller is a Tri Swim Coach subscriber and customer who, 5 years ago could barely swim 100 yards, and has since completed 17 triathlons!

What to Pack for your Next Triathlon
June 11, 2012 16:58You hear it at very race: “Does anyone have an extra pair of…” or “We have an athlete who forgot “X,” can someone help him or her out?” While the Cult of Triathlon is very generous and usually come through to help fellow competitors, no one—especially type A personality and anxiety ridden athletes—likes opening up […]
5 Ways You Can Use Your Emotions To Have a Better Triathlon
June 05, 2012 18:28I woke up stressed out, stomach in knots, dreading what was to come of the day. It didn’t matter if I had a solid 8 hours of sleep, or just a few. It didn’t matter if the sun was shining or behind thick, dark clouds. It didn’t matter if I had 10 million things that […]

Sh*t Triathletes SHOULD Say
May 31, 2012 04:01by Chris Hague I work in a triathlon store and some days I feel like I have walked onto the set of “Sh*t triathletes say.” I hear all the stereotypical lines like “Yeah today was just an easy 3 hour ride. I averaged about 300 watts but wasn’t wearing my compression socks so it naturally […]
How to “Swim Your Race”
May 28, 2012 16:54“Repeat after me…” by Chris Hague “Mission abort, mission abort…Houston I think we have a problem here…self destruct now!” Red lights flashed across my brain as I frantically whirled my arms and raced (or tired to) across the once placid lake in a vain attempt to catch the lead pack of swimmers. What am I […]
3 Reasons You Do Triathlons
May 25, 2012 19:14Spending weekends training. Being too hot. Being too cold. Giving up Friday and/or Saturday nights. Training before work. These are some of the things that go along with triathlon. So what’s the point? Well, rather than go off on some philosophical diatribe about goals and accomplishments, I think this one is really simple and comes […]

May 21, 2012 19:31Since our last post, Overcoming Race Day Anxiety, there has been some discussion among my colleagues as well as a couple of comments from athletes, and it seems to be a bigger issue than I even thought. I have some ideas on what I think causes this, but I wanted to reach out to the […]
Overcoming Triathlon Race Anxiety
May 18, 2012 17:14by Chris Hague It’s race day morning, and the sun is just peaking over the horizon. The conditions are perfect with cool temperatures, a cloudless sky, and calm waters as far as the eye can see. Right after the cannon fires, marking the start of the pro wave, you wade into the water with your […]
The Natural Talent Myth- And How This Is Great for your Swimming
May 14, 2012 19:58I’m in the midst of reading a book called The Talent Code, by Daniel Coyle, which is about how greatness is not born, it’s grown. The author uses many examples from the world of sports to show where some of the so-called “super talents” have come from, and why it’s much more about “deep practice” […]
