Triathlon Specific Shoes. Yes? No?

We are the US Distributor for Gaerne Cycling Shoes (Made in Italy). We are looking for feedback on what features are important to you in a Cycling Shoe. Do you use Triathlon Specific Shoes for racing only? Or for training as well? Do you use one type of shoe for shorter events vs. longer events? Carbon Fiber Sole vs. Nylon Composite Sole. Do you wear socks during races? How about training.

Thank you very much for your feedback. www.gaerneshoes.com

The Mental Game

I had two individuals that had minimal triathlon experience, were strong runners, but lacked on the bike and swim.  They were in fact very motivated and mentally strong.
Due to their mental strength, I decided to take them under my wing and train them for their first ever Ironman Finish Attempt.

Becoming a better climber

I'm working my way towards the Silverman 140.3 race in November. Reading about the race, it looks like there will be some climbing on the bike course. Therefore, I want to improve my climbing abilities but am not sure how. I know the quick answer will be "get on the bike and climb." That's all good, I live in Colorado, so I have no shortage of climbs to ride up. My questions is more around technique. Should I be trying to keep my heart rate in check on the climbs, even if it means using my granny gear?

Long weekend, longer bike rides

This weekend we had the most beautiful weather for riding in Southern CA. It was much cooler than it often is this time of year, and actually a bit chilly to start the rides today and yesterday (arm warmer chilly, but not vest chilly). Which just meant I didn't have the heat training we expected... I still got plenty of hills and wind along with my saddle time :)

Bottle recipe, part 2

Everyone seems to have their fav nutrition. How did you decide? Should I just order a couple different kinds (Hammer, Infinit, etc...) and try them? How long does my ride need to be to require that kind of nutrition? (I'm up to 2 hour rides on my training plan and using gatorade and fig newtons but I have to slow down/stop to eat them).

Keeping up with cycling....

Hey everyone,

I will be living in another country that is not that friendly to runners, so cycling will be pretty much out of the question.

What are the best ways to keep some cycling endurance or build strength for cycling?

Any tips welcome,

Thank you,

Maks
