At the start of each new year, I make a list. In past years, this list would comprise numerous races I wanted to race at, targets I wanted to achieve, and things I wanted to improve on. This year’s list is a lot shorter. I skipped the usual suspects and wrote, in large bold letters—JUST GET OUT AND TRAIN. If you are just starting out in triathlon, good for you! Welcome to a wonderful sport. Over the years, I have been very fortunate to have met and trained with some extremely talented athletes. What is even better is that these athletes have been very generous with their time and advice. It is a very inclusive community—the seasoned triathletes are always happy and willing to guide the nervous newbies along. To paraphrase my triathlon hero—you come to triathlon for the challenge, but you stay for the people. In this month’s magazine, we are paying forward the spirit of sharing. We have put together some useful advice for beginners on gear, training, and strengthening. I recommend that everyone, beginner or not, spend a bit of time on our section on the core and use of the foam roller. These are the foundations of a strong and injury-free athlete. So set your goals, it’s time for action! Once you are done reading this issue, GET OUT AND TRAIN.
