Getfit Triathlon Group
26.10.08The word is out and it looks like we have a dedicated, determined group of Getfit clients and trainers that are setting their sights on the Echternach Triathlon 2009.
Looking at their weakest event, swimming, they got themselves to the Bonnevoie pool bright and early (see Training Early blog) to start their training.
Realizing they could not swim the breaststroke for 1.5k in the race, they needed help!
Help was found as they committed to my Front Crawl Training Session, 2x a week. We focus on a variety of drills for balance, buoyancy, rotation, and breathing.
The first day a lot of water was drunk by those never learning to breathe to the side, exhaling (blowing bubbles) while their face is in the water and inhaling as the face turns to the side partially out of water.
What’s amazing is the difference in just 3 training sessions…the water of the pool is stabilizing! Seriously, improvements in breathing have been made…next we continue with body position. Good body positioning is key to good swimming!
If you are interested in doing a triathlon or joining us at the pool for learning the front crawl, send an email to carrie@getfit.lu
Coming up soon look for Getfit’s Triathlon Training Clinic offering how to prepare for a triathlon, guiding you through the basics of each individual sport and show you how to put them all together.
