Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Tour 2010 – first punches…. Well the first week of the tour is over, and the body is almost adapted to very late nights and early mornings. I hope the tour riders understand the what we are going through to follow them! Of the sky. After several big names had crashed, the yellow jersey - Fabian Cancellara – enforced a go slow across the finish line. There was talk of a strike due to the courses be...This is the...

Tonys Ironman adventure: May 2012

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Kinloch was wiped as even the thought of someone taping my ribs made me cringe – mass swim start in a sprint triathlon was not going to happen! Race morning and conditions were pretty good really. A little cold and a bit of a breeze, but that was better than a little hot and calm (for me at least)! Grouppo, or possibly 2. But the pace was just too hot for me! I also plan to be a little more committed to the blog!

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Monday, April 26, 2010. Back on the wagon. Last week was a little attempt to get back into a training and work routine. The last few weeks leading into ironman was quite busy, and after ironman was worse! Thing are usually a little quiet after Ironman, but there was a lot of school stuff on this year (races and organising the year ahead)- and a little more post race reviewing than usual (not a bad thing - in fact good! And I tend to get...

Tonys Ironman adventure: Input vs output vs intensity
http://tonyimnz2009.blogspot.com/2010/11/input-vs-output-vs-intensity.html
Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Monday, November 15, 2010. Input vs output vs intensity. One thing that has been quite variable throughout sport has been the definition and interpretation of intensity. There are a few scientifically defined. From various sources over the years, and to change what I was using was not going to be easy. I am sure many other coaches were in the same boat! So what does it all mean? Not quite what the performance athlete is after though....

Tonys Ironman adventure: World Champs advenure 2013

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Friday, June 14, 2013. World Champs advenure 2013. My latest adventure was Triathlon long distance world champs (1. Garth giving me some prerace advice at team dinner. These were held in Belfort, France, and were advertised as a 4km swim, 120km bike, and a 30km run. However, “as advertised” became a 10km run-90km bike-20km run, as the water was deemed too cold. It was cold! It is colder than it looks! The bike had around 35km “fla...

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Thursday, October 29, 2009. Pre world long course champs. Bit of a computer hiccup prevented this post going up prior to worlds - but here you go! My vain attempt to keep the body together has failed! What am I going to do at worlds? Overall a very successful weekend. It was quite exhausting to be fair. I was planning on sneaking in some training - but we arrived in Palmerston North to blizzard conditions! Somehow Scott managed to get o...

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Here are a few pictures care of Charlotte - from worlds in Perth. The wind was quite strong for the swim start (as seen in the spray being blown off) - but these Elites got it easy compared to the poor old buggers in later waves! Oh - and the water was a VERY different colour up close - almost looks like it has a blue tone to it here. Hold the smack talk for 20 seconds guys - and smile for the camera! 45min...

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Saturday, April 18, 2009. Back to school camp. The first proper ride was full of complaints and there was some pretty slow riding. The pushing had already begun (fellow coach Scott and I pushing the slower riders back into the bunches). While the average speed was pretty low, the coaches efforts were not so! The back was pretty sore each morning too - and that was no doubt from all the pushing! Hill TT - getting a bit tired now. Pretty ...

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Thursday, May 21, 2009. Nothing too exciting on the training front in the last week - which is not a bad thing! 160;Although I have been officially sacked as weather reporter/predictor. For two Sundays I have said "no long ride on the road - rain is coming". And twice it has been fine. There was rain, but it did not really arrive during the ride time! Of course if I had gone out, it would have poured down! And you didn't even turn up fo...

Tonys Ironman adventure - building up for a new triathlon adventure. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Getting into gear… cross country gear…. Motivation to kick some change in form has been quite high for the last few months. I decided that the running needed a good kick in the pants – as I have not really done any proper run training for almost 10 years, I was very much on borrowed time for reasonable performances running wise. Place in the younger vet category (would have been 4. In the older vets category!
