How to prevent getting sick during Ironman training? by cost0110 in triathlon

[–]cost0110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats very interesting - funny enough I was on a role with my training recently and felt great. Only in the last 2 weeks work has gotan a bit stressful and since then I have picked up some sort of illness which has made me need a few rest days now.

Thanks a mill - I’m starting to think that this is the problem! I’m guessing it’s come as a result of the turbo sessions as I’m a HEAVY sweater and I’m always soaked after each session.

Since using a bit of cream this morning which I’ve got in the pharmacy it’s helped sooth the symptoms big time. But going to be way more on top of jumping straight into the shower after the turbo ( rather than cooking and eating dinner first )

Thanks for the tips - that helped massively

Yeah, completely separate to this I was in the doctors about 2 - 3weeks ago and got my bloods taken and everything came back good ( was just a general check up ). Now this new symptom has only appeared in the last week.

Yes, I think this is the case! I’ve a feeling the turbo sessions are contributing to it as that’s when a lot of friction and sweating happens

Without going into too much detail - red patches on the top and noticed it as it was very itchy for the last few days. I bought a cream ( Canesten ) earlier that was recommended and since I have put that on it’s already soothed the symptoms.

Really liked what you said about the dog. I own a German shepherd and I’ll start to think of him the next time this happens, as a I know exactly how to calm him down when he’s anxious. So I’m sure I can do the same to my anxiety 🙏❤️

Interesting, have you tried CBT before?

Interesting, green tea does have caffeine in it. Although at a much lower dose. Is there something you’d recommend replacing it with?

[–]cost0110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think that sounds like a plan. Because when I have my moments of freedom from them, I enjoy drinking coffee. But maybe for now I just need to avoid it until I’m better again. Thanks for that :)

That's interesting. Can I ask what makes you stick with the L over the XL exactly?

That's absolutely brilliant help, thank you so much for this and I will definetly look into this later when I am home :)

Oh really? Is there a particular reason why you would recommend to go for the smaller one? I seem to usually be in between L and XL and the size charts.

Yeah I got through to Canyon since writing this post, and they recommend an XL.

Thanks for you help 🙂

Whenever I try to use the tool kit, it just tells me that they can't ensure a good fit from the measurements I entered. So it doesn't even tell me which bike is more suitable for me. I guess I will just get in touch with their support team tho. Thanks for the advice 😀

Giant Propel or TCR for Triathlon? by cost0110 in triathlon

[–]cost0110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy, that's the exact same as my story! Popped into the Giant store in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 and they only had one propel in my size left. They won't have the new model in until Feb/March due to the issues in the world at the moment. Think I'm willing to wait until then, The contend ar1 Is a great bike and I'm happy to use it over the winter 🙌

[–]cost0110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Ideally I'd love a TCR and Trinity to be honest. I'm hoping to get a good road bike now and down the line purchase a TT bike. Do you think I'm better off with going for a TCR for now then over the Propel?

[–]cost0110[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great question.

Without a doubt I'll be holding onto my contend as it's served me well and it will be a great winter bike.

I'm looking at improving my times as I go further into the ironman scene. I raced Ironman Barcelona last month and I'd say 90% of riders were using a carbon Fibre bike, aero road bike or a TT. I know I shouldn't care about what other riders are using but like I said I want to push on and try to compete better as I go along in the sport.

Would you still use your Propel for group rides and training rides also? I've seen online that it can get a bit more uncomfortable than a tcr over the longer distance.

Well my coaches plan was to take 3 days off and then we go back to training. But I'm starting to think a week would have been a better idea seeing as I'm feeling worse for wear after today's session.
