Sports Massage

Massage is an important recovery method which should be included in every triathletes’ busy schedule.

 

Massage serves several purposes, namely injury prevention and treatment, reducing muscle tension thereby improving range of movement, reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and it improves posture and alignment.

 

During heavy workouts muscles experience what some call micro-trauma. Micro-trauma refers to tiny muscle tears and even an increase in scar tissue if left untreated. Massage also helps stimulate lymphatic flow thereby removing metabolic waste.

 

It is important to stay with 1 therapist for your regular massages. They get to know your body and when something changes or something unusual appears they will be able to possibly forewarn you should you be heading down injury lane.

ITU World Triathlon Champs Beijing 2011 – My Experience

When people ask me what the name of my blog is and I tell them “Once Inspired”, they usually comment and say something along the lines of “Only once but never again?” What they clearly don’t realize is that Once Inspired is actually a “complete this sentence” phrase.

 

Racing at world champs was an unparalleled experience. Beijing is a beautiful (and massive) place. The race venue was the same as the 2008 Olympic Games. The privilege of running down the blue mat and finishing under the Dextro Energy Triathlon, ITU World Championship, Beijing banner was probably the pinnacle moment.

Big Bay Beach Protest

 

Are you concerned about the sewerage spills that happen at Big Bay beach?

 

This is your chance to make a stand!

 

Join a 30 minute peaceful protest – Sunday 27 March 11:00am -11:30am

 

The meeting regarding the status of Big Bay Beach was poorly attended this week and knowing that there are many people who care about the state of this beautiful beach, it would be good to show Alderman Ian Neilson and the City of Cape Town that there ARE indeed hundreds of concerned citizens.

 

Triathlon Reaches Unprecedented Audiences

Triathlon is being watched and enjoyed by more people around the world, according to the International Triathlon Union’s 2010 television audience statistics released today.

A significant gain in ITU’s television reach in 2010 from the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series underscores triathlon’s continued growth. This increase was achieved despite airing one less event in 2010 compared to 2009.

In all 556 hours of ITU’s events aired in 2010, up from 350 hours in 2009. Television contacts* also rose dramatically with 323-million per event in 2010 compared to 262-million contacts per event in 2009.

Sportsman’s Warehouse Ad

I was cleaning up my Hard Drive and came across a video from a Sportman’s Warehouse TV commercial I did early last year. Oh what fun.

Drafting: Is it Ruining Triathlon?

Many pros feel that drafting is ruining the sport of triathlon. It’s removing the purity of a true racing spectacle. Some suggest that the only way to get around it is to avoid a lap course. Others say that there should be a bigger gap between age groupers and elites, men and women.  What do you think? Please post your comments below.
