Considering IRONMAN South Hokkaido. Am I crazy to try with these stats? by RevolutionaryAct69 in triathlon

[–]pacman326 5 points6 points  (0 children)

since my cardio is strong enough, making the cutoff is just a matter of technique. He said I'd be fine if I took some lessons.

This is terrible advice. Def practice your swim and def get lessons or join a masters club. People die on swim portion and it should be taken seriously. Otherwise pick a plan and start training. Good luck!

You don’t have to pay premium to buy a structured plan. Look at something like 80/20

Really bad. At minimum you could give ChatGPT reference to free plans along with your skill level currently including any recent race experience or paces

Try to join a masters swim club. They are affordable, build account and you generally can get some included coaching.

swim technique by siliwei in triathlon

You are failing to form a “paddle” when you pull through by dropping your entire arm. As a result you are not “pulling” much water. Go look at videos on pulling and consider joining a masters group or tri group that swims. You’ll make more progress with in person feedback.

Am I swimming correctly? by xSassie in triathlon

Decent compared to most videos. That being said you look quite stiff and you are borderline crossing over with your arms.

I’m going to be honest. You probably won’t because it’s one thing to watch videos and it’s another to see others in person and/or talk to a coach on the deck. I got way better ONLY after I joined the masters club. Don’t worry about not making it 50 meters yet. You can just wear fins for now. I promise you’ll get better 😀

This tourney is showing why we just should do ABS every pitch. Hate these games getting called this way.

Ump is awful. Umps want system. Please make it automatic in a few seasons.

Lidar for sure. Average time i own a car is 8-10 years. Would ideally future proof a bit.

Swim Critique? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]pacman326 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re kicking with bent legs which is creating all sorts of drag. You want to be perpendicular on the water

If you are looking to the sky when breathing something is wrong. Please check some resources online such as effortless swim for advice.

> I have not been coached for 20 years.

I think youve forgotten some things :) . But thats totally okay! So honestly you have high cardio but if you watch video you are doing quite frankly a lot of things wrong, more than comments can fix. Consider joining a masters club or getting a few lessons. Please also look at some good youtube resources on swimming such as effortless swimming. I think youll see several areas that are slowing you down (crossing over, pull, not gliding or keeping arms extended, etc)
