Coach and Athlete Darcy’s 1st post

Hello to all the power bloggers out there and welcome to my journey.

I hope you will follow along as I train for my first Half Iron distance race and a faster sprint and olympic distance season. I am looking to step up my game this coming season, with a special focus on improving my bike split. The journey promises to be both difficult and if it goes as past racing seasons have gone, humorous at times.

If you choose to follow my blog, I can promise that you will be entertained, but hopefully you will also be inspired and motivated to achieve your best alongside of me. I learned some important lessons last year that I will be carrying into the 2010 season. So, I would like to start my blog off by sharing some knowledge that I gained in 2009…

1)  Never run a half marathon without body glide. It doesn’t matter how thin and trim you think your thighs are; they will rub and they may bleed. Be safe and always use your body glide.

2) Just because you are in a tight body suit and have numbers written all over you, it doesn’t mean that the little town sheriff directing traffic at the one blinking light intersection in his little town will realize you are participating in the local triathlon! He may just think you are out for a casual ride at 8AM in your aero helmet and not direct you to turn. Then, you may end up on the entrance ramp to a freeway with no way of turning around! Know your course before you race…or get Garmin to sponsor you at least!

Bis bald…

Don’t do a Tri Adventure race with a tall blonde who has never biked long distance before.
