You want to hit the next level, but what should you put more work into, swim, bike, or run? Today we look at ways to figure out where you should invest your time to reach the most potential. It’s not always obvious and we tell you why. We look at time invested vs. improvement. How fatigue plays in. And why your race strategy could be tapping your run reservoir. Training 3 sports as one is complex, but we will help you find your weaknesses to overcome them to train and race with more purpose. 

Topics:

• 5 Golden Rings
• Planning Ahead for training and racing
• Hitting the Next Level
• Training for 3 sports vs. 1. 
• Vying for the podium?
• Limiting effects from swimming and cycling
• The puzzle of all three sports
• Dedicating time proportionately
• What do you consider your weakness?
• Time invested vs. improvement
• Fatigue masks fitness
• Can’t win in the swim but you can lose
• Don’t swim so hard that you can’t use your weapons 
• Triathlon is a run race after a hard swim and long bike
• Saving energy for your run reservoir 
• Starting your run on the defensive
• Triathletes like the complexity of this sport
• Overcoming weaknesses to get better
