Coach's Diary: A New & Brilliant Triathlon Race Format! | Ep 563
Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast
What Was the Swim Like in Portimão?
Rob describes a protected harbour swim course, his ~20-minute 1 km time, and the communal finish area with snacks and atmosphere.
A bit of a different episode this week. Coach Rob shares a behind-the-scenes look at Team OxygenAddict’s recent trip to Portugal for the Triton Race Series (https://tritonworldseries.com/https://tritonworldseries.com/).
The Triton format is something new and exciting: swim on Friday, bike on Saturday, run on Sunday, turning a triathlon into a full weekend festival of endurance sport.
In this episode, Rob talks through how the event format works, what made it such a great experience for the team, what it was like getting back on a start line himself after a few years away from racing and his thoughts on why events like Triton could be the future for age-group triathlon weekends.
