Offseason Goals<\/h2>\n

Most triathlete’s seasons are coming to and end and they are often confused as to what they should do next. \u00a0The offseason is a great time to focus on your weaknesses and many people choose to implement a swim, bike, or run focus, which is a great idea, but not where you should start. \u00a0I would argue that your number 1 offseason priority should be to simply have fun!<\/p>\n

You’ve been training for months on end working towards a single goal. \u00a0Maybe it was your first triathlon, maybe it was an Ironman triathlon. \u00a0Regardless, you need to take a break! \u00a0The offseason is a great chance to branch out and try new things. \u00a0Don’t worry about power, training hours, etc. \u00a0Just go out and have fun! \u00a0Here are a few ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n

Ride Gravel<\/h2>\n
\"Offseason
Ride some gravel!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Scott would be the first to tell you that I am biased when it comes to gravel, but I can’t help it. \u00a0I think it’s the most fun you can have on a bike.<\/p>\n

As triathletes we all too often become fixated on long outdoor rides in the aero position staring 6 feet ahead of us on the road, focusing on our power numbers, and rarely take the time to enjoy being outdoors. \u00a0Some of that is required because of the need to be hyper-aware of what’s going on around us while sharing the road with cars.<\/p>\n

Gravel roads, on the other hand, allow for a little more freedom to enjoy your surroundings.\u00a0The pace is a little slower, there is next to no traffic, you can ride with friends, and even take some time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. \u00a0 I suggest going out without a plan or route… just get lost and have a great time!<\/p>\n

Mountain Bike<\/h2>\n

\"\"Another favorite of mine is to go out and ride some single-track. \u00a0I’m terrible at it, but make up for my lack of technical skill with enthusiasm. \u00a0Sure, you’ll probably crash a few times, but it doesn’t matter! \u00a0Most of my crashes involve trying to grind up a steep hill or a tight turn covered with tree roots so I’m going slow. \u00a0I’ve literally fallen hundreds of times while riding my mountain bike and I have yet to be seriously hurt.<\/p>\n

Like gravel, mountain biking gets you outside and gives you a chance to truly appreciate the world around us. \u00a0Many trails have natural stopping points that allow you to regroup with friends so it’s another opportunity to get out and be social. \u00a0After all, most of you are like me and probably started riding bikes as a way to get outside and hang out with friends.<\/p>\n

Obstacle Race<\/h2>\n

I’m not much of a runner, but after watching my wife and sister at a muddy 5k obstacle course even I was tempted to lace up my running shoes! \u00a0Many people think of races like the Spartan Race or Warrior Dash, but those can be the more extreme end of the obstacle race spectrum. \u00a0My sister found a local race put on by a church and they had an absolute blast. \u00a0At times they were out of sight but I could hear them laughing a half mile away so I always knew where they were. \u00a0Get your family out with you!<\/p>\n

Color Run \/ Fun Run<\/h2>\n

Not everything has to be serious. \u00a0Instead of worrying about setting a PR, get the family to enter a color run or a fun run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a pretty short list, but the point was just to give you a few ideas of things you can be doing at the start of the offseason. \u00a0Not everything needs to be structured. \u00a0Go out, get lost, do something with your family, but most important, HAVE FUN!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
