At Trimarni, we believe strongly that education should be a primary component of coaching. We want our athletes to ask questions and we want to provide our athletes with a lot of educational content. To help with this, we have a weekly "check in" newsletter that includes the past weekend race results of our team members, a question of the week (and answer) and a timely educational article - on topics such as daily nutrition, sport nutrition, race day tips, mental strength, swim/bike/run skills/training/form and so much more. We also hold a weekly FB live chat (every Wednesday at 6:30pm EST) for our team on our private team page on a specific topic. For example, tomorrow we will be discussing fatigue and how to train through fatigue and how to know when to back off. We also post several videos throughout the week/month on various topics. Some are fun like "our favorite training/recovery tools" whereas others are more educational - like how to set up your gadgets and how to use the Rouvy cycling platform. Our assistant coach Joe is very tech savvy (and enjoys 3D printing) so he also provides great educational content for our team. We have a google doc drive with all of our educational content and we continue to add to it. Seeing that it's only February, we plan to cover more important topics like race day nutrition, race venue specific details and the never ending discussions of bike stuff - gear, terrain management, equipment, bike fit, traveling with your bike, etc.
Because we don't want to limit our educational athlete to only our one on one coached athletes, anyone is able to become part of our team as an educational team member. Not only do you gain access to all of our educational content, but you can also ask questions anytime and receive our team sponsor discounts and first priority to our camps.
If you are interested in joining our educational team, it's only $35 a month. Seeing that the sport of triathlon can get rather costly, we wanted to offer this service at an affordable price so that you can get more out of your triathlon journey.

The price of a direct drive smart bike trainer has drastically dropped over the years. For example, you can find this Cycleops Hammer trainer for only $499! Karel and I have been using our direct drive trainers for several years. I have the Tacx Neo and Karel has the Cycleops Hammer (which he also uses for his bike fits). If you were wondering - we don't do our bike workouts in the same room. I am upstairs in our workout room - where I like it warm and toasty and Karel trains in the bike fit studio/garage where he can make it nice and cool. Can you and your significant other relate?
With several of our team members recently upgrading their trainers, we had several questions about how to install a cassette on a direct drive smart trainer. In a recent team video, Karel shows how easy it is to remove and to install the cassette on a direct drive trainer (as well as on your bike if you need to change your cassette for hilly terrain).
