Today we are honored to feature Triathlon Training Team member: Ted
How did you get your start in triathlon?
I basically did it on a dare from my buddies at Tri Zone . I have been a cyclist for 30 + years and I would talk trash with them on their Saturday morning rides telling them it couldn’t be that difficult. Boy was I surprised. Did a mock tri down at Bay Shore and thought I was going to die.
What do you enjoy most about the sport?
By the far the most important aspect is the camaraderie of the team – super people. The actual events are almost secondary I get from the joy of training with them.
What is your favorite triathlon distance and why?
I haven’t entirely figure that out , at present I have done 1 mile swims , 2 mile open water swims , sprint , olympic and Aquabike ( olympic and 70.3 ) . – still looking for that sweat spot
What are your goals for this season, what are your upcoming races?
I had the Trick or Tri Olympic Tri in a October – flat and fast . Goals – one big one , to get my running legs back in shape . Coach Diego would also say my swim kick could be drastically improved . I like to get my 100m swim down to a 1.55/ 100 meter consistently in the pool and 10k run times to less than 50 minutes
Do you have a bucket list race?
Interesting question. If I could ever get my running legs back I would do a 70.3 . I also would like to do some 5k and 10k swim races – swimming is absolutely spiritual and you get in the Zen mood on long distance stuff.
Describe the feeling of finishing your first triathlon?
OUCH PAIN OUCH THIS SUCKS – ONE MONTH LATER , hmmmm let me see which will be the next one
What is the biggest obstacle you’ve had to overcome to participate in the sport?
The running by far. I didn’t stretch much for 30+ years of exercising and now paying the price
What is your favorite memory/experience the sport has brought you during either training or racing?
Southern California weather and cycling up Glendora Mountain Road feeling your heart beat in your ear – It is spiritual.
Is there anything else you would like me to ask that I didn’t?
Figure out a way to work out every day and do not be completely blown out after exercising- Old guys need NAPS – UGH

1. How did you get your start in triathlon?
I got my start when I was working in Sabah Malaysia. I happen to come out to the road during the running of the Borneo triathlon in Sabah and thought it looked like a lot of fun. Shortly after that I met some of the Sabah state triathlon team who wanted to get more people involved in triathlon so started a training program for the following years Borneo triathlon.
2. What do you enjoy most about the sport?
I think the people. Even when I just was starting out people would always help in the transition area and give tips and encouragement. I also enjoy seeing and hearing the transition that goes on in people’s life as they train for triathlon and the confidence that they gain from it.
3. What is your favorite triathlon distance and why?
I like sprint because I can do them for fun without killing myself. But I enjoy the challenge and the discipline that is required to train for an Ironman. This distance challenges me to keep improving and working on strength and endurance. Because it involves cross training across three sports it allows me to train harder without injury.
4. What are your goals for this season, what are your upcoming races?
Louisville Ironman is in just a few weeks. Then I will take a break from triathlon (since it is winter in Kentucky) and will work on cross fit and running. I try and do one 5k race each month during the winter. I will also participate in the cross fit games at my local box in the spring, and two half marathons in April before transitioning back to triathlon training
5. Do you have a bucket list race?
I had to leave Sabah a week before I was to run the Borneo tri. So I would like to someday return to Malaysia and do the ironman or 70.3 there.
6. Describe the feeling of finishing your first triathlon?
Accomplishment! And ready for the next one
7. What is the biggest obstacle you’ve had to over come to participate in the sport?
I think like everyone, there are seasons of life that your priority has to be on taking care of your spouse and family. But triathlon is always there waiting for me to come back… it gives me something to look forward to when life gets crazy.
8. What is your favorite memory/experience the sport has brought you during either training or racing?
That’s a hard one. Often we think our best memories are in our victories. But I think maybe when the tri community really shows its heart is when we don’t achieve our dreams. I so appreciated the graciousness of the tri community last year when I blew out my knees at the Louisville Ironman. When I gave my tri report on Women for Tri, I was embraced by this community and so many appreciated my reflections on making it 127.5 miles on wounded knees. It was the love and encouragement of our community, especially our team that allows me to be fearless in my attempt this year.

Today we are honored to feature Triathlon Training Team member: Cheryl
1.How did you get your start in triathlon?
My brother-in-law and his wife convinced my husband and I to do a sprint triathlon about 3 years ago. Did no training, but knew how to swim and had mountain bike and running shoes. Enjoyed it (the swim was not pretty…). Did another sprint and decided I needed training if I was going to continue. A coworker mentioned a free “Give It a Tri” triathlon clinic in Los Alamitos. That is where we met the coach, Diego. I chickened out at the last minute for the Long Beach sprint triathlon (the ocean swim got me), but we joined his team and later his personal coaching and evolved from there.
2.What do you enjoy most about the sport?
The training, both group and individual. I like the variety of running, swimming and biking. The team is terrific. They are all very inclusive. There is diversity in age and ability, which I found surprising. I thought triathlons would be for the young and really athletic types. But it’s really for anyone who wants to give it a try. Our team also gets together socially which has created a great source of friendships. Our youngest daughter is also on the team.
3.What is your favorite triathlon distance and why?
Still pretty new to the sport (completed 3 sprints, 1 Olympic and 1 half Ironman), but would say Olympic distance for fun and half Ironman for challenge. I never thought I would say this, but sprint doesn’t seem to be worth the effort anymore (too short, haha).
4.What are your goals for this season, what are your upcoming races?
Getting ready for another half Ironman (in Tempe) coming up in October. After that we’ll see. There’s so many races out there, it’s hard to decide.
5.Do you have a bucket list race?
I’ve been saying “never” to doing a full Ironman, but my husband wants to do one and the team talks about it (a group of them just finished Whistler). It’s a good kind of peer pressure to have though, so maybe… Santa Rosa (wine country!) and/or Kentucky (encouraged by team friend) next year.
6.Describe the feeling of finishing your first triathlon?
I did three sprints before I did my first half Ironman. We had to sign up for Oceanside half Ironman 9 months ahead of time because it sells out quickly. I think of Oceanside as my first triathlon. I trained long and hard for it. Going in, I was definitely fearful of the swim. But once I started, I knew I had it. I felt prepared and elated all the way until about mile 6 on the run. I was never so happy to finish and said I’d never do it again. That lasted for about 30 minutes, then I couldn’t stop talking about doing another one. Go figure.
7.What is the biggest obstacle you’ve had to overcome to participate in the sport?
The swim was the most mentally challenging and the run was the most physically challenging. Swimming seems to be the most common hurdle. Definitely a big difference between lap swimming in a pool and open water swimming. But with team practices and coaching, I’ve come a long way. Still working on the running, but when all else fails, walking gets you to the finish too.
8.What is your favorite memory/experience the sport has brought you during either training or racing?
Finishing the race and having the team there to cheer me in. Also, just hanging out with the team before and after training and races. They’re just a great group of people. The Triathlon Training Team is the best!!
9.Is there anything else you would like me to ask that I didn’t? What would that question and answer be?
What advice would you give to anyone considering this sport?
1. Join a team – offers encouragement, camaraderie, inspiration
2. Get a coach – keeps you accountable, track progress, overcome hurdles, set goals
3. Enjoy the process – It’s an evolution. I went from mountain bike using running shoes, to road bike with bike clips and now it’s second nature. My swim is getting better with lap swim and open water swim practice.
4. You can do it – We’ve had folks that couldn’t swim when they started. This sport really has all ages and athletic abilities. I am continually surprised by this. Of course, check with your doctor first.
5. And one more thing – on the bike, unclip early (before stop, etc.), always unclip on the same side first (so it becomes automatic), and never go up a driveway sideways (the stupid skinny tires can’t get over the lip of the curb). Lessons learned the hard way.

How did you get your start in triathlon?
I got started doing triathlons because I was inspired by my son, Steven when he completed the Long Beach Marathon and my husband brought home a flyer for the 2012 Race on the Base. I decided to sign up for the race even though I did not even own a bike at the time. After participating in that race I meet the Divas and started training with them.
What do you enjoy most about the sport?
What I enjoy most is the support of my Diva friends and the challenge of pushing myself.
What is your favorite triathlon distance and why?
I enjoy doing a variety of distances.
What are your goals for this season, what are your upcoming races?
My goal for this season is to complete the Tempe 70.3 under the 8:30 time limit.
Do you have a bucket list race?
I think that I would like to complete an Ironman race at some point.
Describe the feeling of finishing your first triathlon?
When I was about halfway through the Race on the Base it dawned on me that I was actually going to complete this race and I was hooked.
What is the biggest obstacle you’ve had to overcome to participate in the sport?
The biggest obstacle I have faced and continue to struggle with is my own fears and insecurities, doubting my abilities to meet my goals.
What is your favorite memory / experience the sport has brought you during either training or racing?
My favorite thing about doing triathlons is the support and friendship that I have experienced with my Diva friends, training and racing together and supporting each other.

Tips for balancing training with every day life
Triathlon training is demanding. Especially Ironman training. I have had many days where I run around all day getting the laundry done, grocery shopping, meal prepping, cleaning the house, answering emails, taking the kids to their doctor appointments, ect and before I know it, it is already 8pm and the day is gone. But wait, I was supposed to fit a 3 hour bike in there with a 45 minute run to follow. Yikes! I remember the first time I did not plan my day well and I was getting on my trainer at 10 pm at night. I’d like to tell you it was a one time event but it wasn’t. I HAVE however gotten a bit better at prioritizing my time so it only happens about once every few weeks. Sometimes life just happens, plans fall through, child care cancels, someone gets sick, and there is just nothing that could be done to avoid the hiccup. I’ve put together a few tips I’ve learned throughout my training while being a busy wife and mom to two kids under 4 and I’d love to pass them on to you. I hope you find some comfort and maybe a few ideas.
PLAN AHEAD:
This one is obvious but has to be stated. Look at your workouts for the week and plan for those chunks of time. Is that hour run something you can do before you go to work? How about that 3 hour bike on Saturday, but wait you have a huge family event to go to….looks like its a 4am day for you! I know many triathletes that start their days at 3:30 and 4 am so they can have their family time uninterrupted or without the stress of a long workout hanging over their head every day. Schedule this time, I even put it in my calendar on my phone. It is an important meeting with yourself to get you to your goals, hold yourself accountable.
PRIORITIZE:
We are all given the same 24 hours in a day. We are all busy and that time will be filled with something if it is not triathlon training. I remember when I went from cheering in college to not, between practices and games it took up about 15 hours a week and I thought “man I am going to be so bored and have SO much free time now that I just have school”….wrong! I filled my time and felt busier than ever but I cannot even tell you what I filled my time with. My husband and I don’t have TV and are on the verge of canceling our hulu account because we are weeks behind on the two shows we regularly watch. It is simply not a priority anymore. Do you have things in your week that is demanding a lot of your time, are you able to cut some of them out? Take a hard look at your activities and see if you can change your priorities a bit to align with your goals. Triathlon takes great sacrifice.
MEAL PREP:
This one can be daunting if you have never done it but it will save you so much time, I promise! Make as much food in bulk as you can. I never cook less than 8 chicken breasts at a time. Sauté up a couple pounds of ground turkey and have it plain in the fridge. Chop up your lettuce and veggies so they are quick to throw a salad together. Make ahead a huge pot of brown rice and have it ready to go anytime you need a quick side. Sweet potatoes are an easy side to throw in the oven too. I usually cook 6, cut them in half after they are done, throw some chicken on top and bam, I have lunches for the week. The amount of time you will save cooking each and every meal, plus taking the stress away of “whats for lunch or whats for dinner” will be so worth a little extra work, promise! The crock pot can be your best friend, I have several crock pot chicken recipes but this one is my favorite right now thanks to Trainer Lindsey at IdealFit.com
Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken
1c pineapple juice
1/3c reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2c low sugar ketchup
1T rice vinegar
1/4c baking stevia
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4t dried ginger
1T sriracha
2lbs chicken breast
1 (16oz) can crushed pineapple
Unsweetened coconut
Combine all ingredients besides chicken, crushed pineapple and coconut in crock pot. Add chicken and top with pineapple. Let cook on low 6-8 hours or until done. Either pull chicken with two forks or keep as bigger pieces. Pair with rice and veggies and top with coconut!
STOCK THE PANTRY:
This one goes with the meal prepping but it deserves its own heading. As a mom I am ALWAYS hearing “I’m hungry, what can I eat, I need a snack” I swear I could spend 3 hours a day just getting food for everyone. I stock my pantry and fridge with quick, easy grab and go type foods. Light & fit greek yogurts, string cheese, lunch meat, carrots, apples, rice cakes, trail mix and jerky are a few examples of staples I always have on hand. They take seconds for me to get for my kids or grab for myself if I’m running out the door or don’t have time to make a meal (although with all my prepped food from the bullet above this shouldn’t be an issue, right?!)
BE CONSISTENT:
We’ve all heard Coach Diego say “doing something is better than skipping your workout all together”. Three 30 minute runs during the week is much better than one 90 minute run on Saturday because that is when “you finally have time to fit in your workouts”. Your body needs consistency to build that endurance and believe it or not, you can get a killer workout in just 20-30 minutes with high intensity.
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR COACH:
This one is so important!! Life happens, plans change and you are realizing fitting the training in is way harder than you thought. Get your coach on the phone and make a plan. Is work demanding and you are exhausted when you come home, or maybe school is taking up a ton of time because of finals, or your kids sports schedule has increased and you’re stuck in car pool all night. Whatever is going on, its ok. Talk with Coach and together you two will come up with a plan that will maximize your training results with the limited time you have to dedicate. You will feel so much better about yourself because you will no longer be missing workouts and your performance will improve because you are staying consistent!
ASK FOR HELP:
Triathlon training is a huge sacrifice. Especially when the training hours become long, it is impossible to do it all. Ask for help, communicate with your friends and family. Ask your spouse if they can take over car pool or try ordering your groceries online. A lot of stores have a grocery delivery service which is free if your order over a certain amount or you can drive to the store and they load up your grocery order right in your car! This will save you HOURS and not to mention money because you won’t be buying random things you don’t actually need. No one crosses the finish line of a triathlon without the help from their friends and family, thats why it is such a huge day for everyone involved. They want to see you succeed and they want to help so open up that communication and make a plan to help ease your load a bit so you can focus on your training. Come race day, take the extra 20 seconds to say hi to them during transition or the run. They have waited all day to catch a glimpse of their rockstar athlete, show them some love!
Triathlon training is such an incredible journey. Crossing that finish line isn’t about how you perform the day of your race. It is about the journey and the sacrifice you spent to get to that starting line. You will have spent hours training, missed family events, pushed your body to the limit so you could have the privilege to stand on that sandy beach and start your triathlon race. Make sure you are doing all you can to make your journey to the finish line a successful one. I can guarantee you, it will make your race so much more enjoyable. I hope you enjoyed reading some of my tips and found them helpful. Please leave a comment with any tips you have found throughout your training or any questions you may have, I’d love to chat!

Triathlon Training Team earns 2nd place at Oceanside 70.3!
We had 25 athletes that are either a part of our team, being coached by me, or both. Sadly, two of our athletes were not able to finish. One had a big mechanical issue on the bike, and another a health problem that needed to be kept in check….they are both back at it again and gearing up for the next race! And for what they had to go though, I am super impressed and proud of what they accomplished during the race. Great job Candyce and Sue!!!
From the 23 left, we had 10 athletes compete in their first ever 70.3!!! So congratulations to Tony, Frank, Jose, Alex, Amanda, Cheryl, Pat, Daniela, James, and Michael, Congratulations!!!
We also had a bunch of PRs on the team, which is impressive being that this course was tougher than the previous course they did to establish their original PRs. In the PR group we had Steven, Rebecca, Cory, Chuck, Nick, Jake, and Sonia. Congratulations!!!
The rest of the crew also had awesome races (I had an awesome long walk during what was supposed to be the run)… but Heather, Judy, Glenda, Patric, Rafael and Sean brought it home running-How it should be ?
Everyone had their own special race in one way or another, some of the crazy big accomplishments included Amanda getting first out of the water in her age group, and 9th overall from all of the females (including the PRO women), Cory getting 2nd overall in his age group, and having one of the fastest bike splits out of everyone in the race, Nick had a PR of an hour and seven minutes and Steven had almost a 20 minute PR from last year’s Oceanside race…
Our amazing cheering squad included Suzanne, Debbie, Cindy, Joanne, Ted, Tino, and Taffy.
Congratulations again, and please, share your story about the race with us, I am sure it will be a learning experience for all of us.
You have earned 2nd place in Division V!!! It shows what an amazing performance you all had during the race. Due to our performance, we have also been invited to compete at the North American TriClub Championship in April 2018 (Florida). What does this all mean?
Ironman has 5 divisions for registered TriClubs. We are placed purely by # of athletes racing. DI is 200+ athletes, DII is 126-200, DIII is 76-125, DIV is 26-75, and DV is under 25. In total, 215 teams participated, and out of all of the teams, we got 19th. In our division, there were 68 teams, and we earned 2nd spot! Congratulations again!!!

Being Smart The Week Of Your Big Race
By the time you read this, you’ll be around 6 days away from participating in another fun, 70.3 miles worth of swim/bike/run triathlon (Oceanside 70.3). This might be your first 70.3, or your tenth one, regardless, the nerves will start to build up, and everything that comes with it. Here is a simple guide to help you navigate the week (taper week) leading to your race:
Monday (week of the race): Relax, all of your hard work is now done. You can’t make up any workouts and everything you do should be focusing on fine tuning your body for the race. 1. You STILL need to workout this week. Do not take the whole week off. Your total workload should drop around 50%, and short periods of high intensity should be included in each of your workouts. i.e. (some fast 25s on your swimming, with extra rest), 20 sec strides (controlled fast efforts in your running, etc..). 2. Make sure you are properly hydrating yourself this week, eating, and getting enough sleep. You want to help your body fully recovery before your race on Saturday, but keep it in “race mode” by doing the shorter workouts combined with the high intensity components. 3. Go over ALL of your race gear, and make sure it is in working order (bike, wetsuit, goggles, etc…). 4. Download the athlete guide http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman-70.3/oceanside/race-info/athlete-guide.aspx#axzz4cATTkiF4 and go over it, towards the back of it, you have a really nice check list to remind you of what you might need during race day.
Tuesday: Continuing with your relaxed state of mind, work on your nutrition. At this point is OK to start eating a little bit more carbs and protein to help aide any last minute recovery (proteins), and to help keep your glycogen storage as full as possible (carbohydrates). Today is also a great day to focus on visualizing your race. If you have not visualized a race before, simply find a place you can relax and close your eyes (no electronics!) and picture the swim start, transitions, riding your bike, running, etc… This will help you stay focused come race day and it will help you stay calm during the week. Today should also include a workout. The workout should include a solid warm up, some speed work with rest in between, a nice cool down followed by stretching.
Wednesday: Hydration, nutrition, rest and sleep. Do not over-do it with your hydration, we are not camels! You can’t store liquids for race day! Pay attention to your body and the color of your urine (if it is a light yellow, straw color) you are good. If you are traveling (specially by plane), the cabin is kept at very low humidity level, so make sure you drink just a little bit more to help you with your hydration level. Long travel by car? Do some light stretching and or jogging for just a few minutes when you stop to put gas in the car, eat, and/or use the restroom. Remember, your brain knows you are racing on Saturday, you just need to keep your muscles activated this week with some “race speed” short sessions. Today should be the last “long workout” of the week. Even if you do a brick workout (like a swim/run), the duration of the workout should be around 60-75 minutes, combined.
Thursday: If you are traveling today, same rules apply (see Wednesday). If you are already at the race location, do not spend all day walking around at the expo. Do what you need to get done and leave. If you have not already figured out what to eat, or where to eat, this would be a great time to get that done. Remember to keep your hydration, nutrition and rest as a priority. Tonight should be your “carbo load” night… NOT the night before the race. A nice 30 min workout would be very beneficial to do today. Most of it should be warming up and cooling down, with some short hard efforts in between. At night, put the electronics away, get to bed early (even if you do not fall asleep), visualize the race, relax and smile. Yes, smile, in two days you are going to participate in 70.3 miles of racing. That is awesome, you should smile because that is a HUGE accomplishment.
Friday: Again, hydration, nutrition, rest and sleep. Try to get the bike checked in as early as you can. Make sure you attend the athlete briefing, and when you are in transition, picture yourself coming out of the water, running into transition, and running out with your bike. This process will help you a lot tomorrow during the race. You will not have access to swim at the ocean today, and your bike is racked, so go for a short quick run. Again, most of it will be just a warm up, some strides in between and a cool down. Eat throughout the day (but don’t pig out!), with your biggest meal being around lunch time, and a smaller meal at dinner. Put the electronics away and go to bed early. Are you going to be able to sleep? Probably not, or not that well. Will that matter come race day? Absolutely not. Just get to bed early and relax, tomorrow will be a great day for you.
RACE DAY: Eat breakfast early (about 2-3 hours before your predicted start time). Keep a water bottle with you, either with water or electrolytes, and sip on it once in a while as you are getting everything ready and traveling to transition. “Ignore what you are feeling”… race morning is an interesting time. You might feel amazing, you might not feel so good…regardless, this is not an indication of how the race will go, so don’t pay attention to it. Once you hit the water – ALL OF YOUR NERVOUSNES WILL GO AWAY. Stick to your plan. Get to transition EARLY, time flies by…check the bike again, load up all of the nutrition, and get your transition ready. Stick to your race plan, do not change anything at the last minute. Give yourself time to warm up, the best way to warm up for a swim is by swimming. You WILL be able to swim in the water before you start, take advantage of it. A nice 10 minute warm up will pay out big dividends during your swim leg. RELAX during the race, smile, thank the volunteers, and have a blast!!!
