Triathlon Training Programs
October 15th, 2010Triathlon training programs is a website designed for the triathlon age grouper. This site will be a place that triathletes both new and old to come for inspiration for your daily triathlon training. Daily top news stories are fed to the site, training articles, videos and much more. People will be able to sign up for a motivational news letter and virtual training partner to keep them going.
The site was started for the everyday triathlete, created by me, a three time ironman and average guy who loves the sport. I’ve been an active fanatic for 10 years, love to train and love to race. A member of a wonderful triathlon training club called the Cylconauts of Springfield Massachusetts. My accomplishments besides completed the three Ironmans, I have completed a sub five hour Half Ironman, many smaller races, to many to mention. Also completing quite a few marathons, along with my wife, fellow multisport athlete and 2 time Boston Marathon qualifier.
The triathlon training programs site will focus on helping the average age grouper enjoy the sport, being a place for learning, and inspiration. We will inform folks about new product development as well as training in all three sports. We will cover every race distance from the Sprint to the Olympic, the Half Ironman to the big one, the Ironman. The sport of Triathlon is growing from its humble beginnings of the 1970’s. The first modern swim/bike/run event to be called a ‘triathlon’ was held at Mission Bay, San Diego, California on September 25, 1974. The race was conceived and directed by Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan, members of the San Diego Track Club, and was sponsored by the track club. 46 participants entered this event. It was reportedly not inspired by the French events, although a race the following year at Fiesta Island, California, is sometimes called ‘the first triathlon in America.
The first modern long-distance triathlon event was the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon. It included a 2.4 mile (3.86 km; 77 lap) swim, a 112 mile (180.2 km) bike ride, and a 26.2 mile (42.195 km) run. It was conceived during the awards ceremony for the 1977 Oahu Perimeter Relay (a running race for 5-person teams).
