Most people take on a marathon as a single event and the training for this uses up a lot of their time. Here are some tips for the run. On Your Left! I think the biggest thing I've learned is to quit worrying about what everyone else thinks. If I let that get to me too much I would not be the fine triathlete I am today! Training Fatigue - Are You Recovering Enough? Do you find that your heart-rate drops and your breathing gets labored during a workout?

Mother Nature continued to sing loud here in Cozumel, reminding us who was boss. This morning was no different, the wind howled in our ears, stung our eyes and the ocean slapped the shore with vigor.
