Entering my second year of tri's and ramping from Sprints/OLY to OLY's/half.... Any tips for training indoors (I have a Kinetic fluid trainer)??? I'm really struggling to stay on the bike for more than 45 min-1hr even though I need to be putting some longer rides in.... tried music, TV, etc but I get so bored all I want to do is stop!

If this has already been a recent topic, I will apologize upfront. Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines – Brian Tracy 2008 Sprint Tri A race goals S: 500m in 10:00 – FS Stroke only B: 22mph avg over course R: 5K <= 25:00 Place top 50% for my age group

I was thinking about something the other day while I was out training. Why do we do triathlon?

The mind is as important as the body when it comes to success in sports. This is especially true for long duration events, like an Ironman or marathon, when the mind has plenty of time to wander.

It is April already. Some of us have been training quite consistently since our season break from last year. By now, you have done over 3 serious month of base training, and with the weather still cold and gray, you might be feeling a little worn out and down. But you are not alone, as most people have a hard time training now for a race that is usually 6 months away.

Motivation is something athletes are always seeking, but can be elusive to obtain. Motivation can put a lesser skilled athlete on the podium standing over his more gifted and talented peers. It is the life blood of training. Simply put motivation is how much an individual wants to achieve a goal, but sources of motivation can be as varied as athletes.
