Race Day Consultation
Get the result you deserve
You have dedicated hundreds, if not thousands of hours to your training, research and preparation for race day.
You've made sacrifices most would baulk at, invested a significant sum of your own money and stepped back from other commitments to train. Don't fall at the final hurdle by making an unforced error on race day.
Leave no stone unturnedĀ
Ā Even short triathlons will last around an hour. There is a huge amount that can go wrong during your race.Ā
Whether it's kit related problems, nutrition issues, falling foul of the competition rules or getting your pacing wrong, I want to help you optimise every level of your performance on race day.
What we can cover
Every single consultation is different as athletes have different needs. Someone looking to qualify for a World Championship event will need very different guidance to someone attempting their first sprint triathlon, but here are some areas I can help you with
Pacing Strategy
Whether you are looking for a power target to race to, or simply advice on how to spread your energy levels across the race, we can help ensure you cross the lineĀ in the best time possible
Nutrition Strategy
Without appropriate nutrition, your race day effort will fall apart. Whether you need a detailed fuelling plan for an IRONMAN, or just need to know what to have for breakfast, I can help.
Mindset
Race day is high pressure. The culmination of months of hard work, where one mechanical issue or pothole could derail all of your hard work.Ā I can help you go into the race with confidence
Power Plan
For the advanced triathlete with a power meter, they want more than an arbitrary average power to target. I can use Best Bike Split to help you create a bespoke plan that takes elevation and weather into account, with real time targets
Efficient Transitions
Moving between disciplines is easier said than done and could even set you up for disaster. An overly ambitious bike mount could end your race, while an error with your equipment could land you a penalty. I can help you transition safely and effectively
Race Day Logistics
What time do you need to arrive on site for? When do you register? What do you need to bring with you? When does transition close? When can you collect your equipment? I can helpĀ reduce your anxiety levels by answering your questions.
