Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

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...

Although the ocean swim in Kona is a bit more exhausting than in St. Croix, the Kona bike course offers 112 miles of challenges with the majority happening close to the climb to Hawi and then constant winds on the rolling terrain back to town. Although there are some fast section in St. Croix, unlike Kona, St. Croix packs them all into a 56-mile bike course. In my opinion, this was the most challenging bike...
