- racers at the ready
A cold and blustery day greeted all the athletes taking part in the Ennis Tri Duathlon. Spring is here but the winter weather has all athletes wondering when the sunshine is coming. The weather however did not deter the 125 athlete s who took part and the great showing by Ennis Tri marshals and event organizers was great to see.
The team out on the day were all smiles and a few nervous looks from Mags and Olivia. Darragh didn’t shave for fear he could lose strength for the bike while Mark, Trevor and Liam were all wondering who looked better in tights…….
Run 1 3.4km
smiling as usual
GoTri’s Sports Dietitian Gillian “Sports Supplement Advice”0
Posted In Nutrition,Training Tips,Triathlon,Uncategorized
GoTri’s sports dietition Gillian gives us some advice on what to think about before choosing sports supplements.
Sports supplements-should you use them?
Feeling tired, a little run down or for something to give your sports performance an edge? Perhaps you are giving some consideration to taking a sports supplement. A quick internet search will result in a multitude of sites offering products. Claimed beneficial effects include ‘increased muscle mass’, ‘improved strength, energy and focus’ or ‘ immune system boost’. But can they be trusted and do you need them?
The weather has timed itself to perfection as we write this Ireland is being battered by Gael Force winds and rain, anticipating the weather on race day is almost impossible with Irish forecastors finding it hard to get things right….. the one thing we do know is that… it is Ireland, we can have any seasonal weather on any day… so always carry a light windproof rain jacket
