Giant’s Trinity 1 for 2010 was, in most respects, its Trinity 2 in 2009. It’s an 09 Trinity 2 with a new color, and like last year’s “2” it’s a great frame with a forgettable spec.

You’re more than a third of the way to the goal. In a couple of weeks you’ll be halfway to the goal. You could probably do a triathlon right now and survive.
In 1997 I entered my first triathlon in Lititz, Pennsylvania. This is the same triathlon that lost its support from the local fire department in 2002 due to an unfortunate association with Harry Potter and alleged witchcraft.
Race directors, and prospective RDs, we’re starting a series on the sorts of things you’ll face producing multisport events. This is a very well written diary authored by an ambitious, successful promoter.
We’ve added some long sessions: one long run (1 hour) and one ride in which we’re looking for a given distance to be covered (30 miles). You’re entering the big time!
You might think it’s still 2009, but it isn’t, at least, not according to bike manufacturers. It’s 2010 already for many of them, and here is what you can expect to see.
Your building fitness and ability in all three sports now. Let’s talk about how swim, bike and run relate to each other in terms of time spent and fitness gained.
These are the first 2 weeks of an 8-week Ironman campaign, the goal of these weeks being the fitness required to step up to subsequent weeks’ longer workloads.
This is the week you’re finally firing on all eight cylinders. By now you’ve got all the meaningful paraphernalia you need for all three sports, and you’re ready to start riding. Good, because your riding starts this week.
The heart of this 8-week Ironman campaign, weeks 3 thru 5, is not designed to get you ready for the race, rather for the ultimate “indicator” workouts prior to the taper.
The problem with writing a training plan is the fear that somebody might follow it. That’s the case here, with the program we’re going to present. It’s a custom program built and followed by a particular athlete.
Tri bike fit workshop schedule for the 2009/2010 Fall thru Spring campaign is set, we’re open for registrations. Workshops run from early November thru early June.
Let it never be said that Slowtwitch doesn’t tell you where the rubber meets the road. We deconstruct the tire and explain what conspires to give you good flat protection and low rolling resistance.
