Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

I’m five weeks out from the most epic triathlon race that I’ve ever prepared for ( Embrunman ) and this past weekend was one of two “big” training days. I don’t do these epic rides very often but when I do, I have a few goals for the day. 1) The workout is not about gaining fitness but testing fitness. I don’t look at any metrics during the ride but rather, I go by feel and look the numbers after I finish. 2) I use the workout as an opportunity to test nutrition. I bring all my nutrition with me so that I am 100% self sufficient. 3) I enjoy sharing a big ride with other people. Unlike a normal ride or workout, there seems to be less excuses and more focus when you know it’s going to be a long day in the saddle. 4) I feel nervous but excited for these days. I know these workouts are going to be filled with highs and lows but I feel so much gratitude for my body for what it allows me to do. 5) An epic training day needs to be respected in the training cycle but I also don’t want to be so...
