Some highlights from Brett Sutton's posts on the Team TBB message board.
"Play the day, not the splits." (ie Race day can present challenges that make time goals less relevant.)
On Training Camps:
"what i tell most age groupers , when you get some time off work .
stick to your plan .
dont add mega hours , may be a little longer on the long bike , a little more on the long run .
but add in the rest .
give your self a treat , rest before and after training .
then you will go back to your usual situation
refreshed ,improved by the break , and can build on it .
its astonishing how many in europe go to these early season holiday slash trainng camps , get home injured , or fried , and need to take it eassy for 3 weeks .
so one has defeated the purpose , of going on the camp in the first place ."
On the mental side of Ironman:
"ironman is all about mind .
not like short distance ,
where you might be negative but the body feels good and so a good race can be had .
not in the real race ,
you go in negative ,
your dead in the water before you clear the swim
thats why i like it .
you cant fudge ironman , its only for iron people"
