On your mark…. Get set….WAIT!!!!!

Getting Fit is one thing. Getting Ready to Race is another. To help you out, Endurance Nation has compiled some resources here in your Race Forum to make sure you are 100% ready.

Part One: ADMIN / OVERVIEW

It is time to start race preparations! First up…..we need to do some administrative work before we let you loose in the wonderful world of training for a long course triathlon.  

The biggest change we are making this year is the GroupMe

You will only receive a few forum posts/emails during your training. Use the GroupMe App to check in daily/weekly with your fellow athletes. From time to time we will send you messages in the GroupMe to keep you on track. Remember to follow your Roadmap, Training plan and all you and Coach have put together.

Admin:

  • On Social Media?

  • Use email friend@endurancenation.us to get a friend to train with you and EN (they get 30 days FREE and a discounted rate if they join and you can earn referral bonuses)

  • Nudge all current EN members that you know are racing to chime in.

GroupMe Admin:

Watch This Video on How to Navigate http://members.endurancenation.us/Community/GroupMe(TeamText).aspx

  • Find and Join Your Race Group Online Here https://groupme.com/join_group/37800003/hNgZZ7

  • Download the GroupMe App: iTunes Link   Google Play Store

  • Keep in mind times you are messaging - we recommend nothing before 6am and nothing after 10pm

  • The Mute Button is your friend! You can either use “Office Hours” to mute it during the daytime only, or you can manually mute as you see fit.

  • Jump in and out of the conversation when it is convenient for you!

Training Admin:

  • Charge all your swim, bike and run electronics

  • Tune up your bike

  • Make sure all trainers, Zwifts etc are working and you’ve tested before.

  • Order the first batch of your nutrition so you can start off practicing with a bang

  • Order your Endurance Nation racing and training gear

  • Watch all the videos - podcasts and blogs that are attached to each week of training on the website (They are located on the right side of the training page)

  • Check out our sponsors to see if there is anything you need!

  • Nutrition - Make sure to review race and training fueling webinars NOW because you need to be practicing every single day from now on!

  • Race Execution Pages and Checklists are here, make sure to review them

Feel free to ask your teammates questions and make some friends along the way.

OK TEAM!! Let's DO THIS!!!!
