Strength Training for Triathlon: Prepping for the 2024 Ironman 70.3 World Championship
มุมมอง 314วันที่ผ่านมา
Fitter, faster, STRONGER! While we have some time in the lead up to the 2024 Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Taupō, New Zealand, we're using it to our advantage, hitting the weight room five days a week and building strength before we get back to triathlon-focused training. It's been a long time coming and something we both enjoy: pumping iron and getting ripped! teamsaunderstr...

We're throwing it waaaaaay back to the very first video we posted on TH-cam - almost six years to the day.

We had no idea what this would become, as we were just documenting for our future selves. Take a trip down memory lane with us, have a few laughs and en...

What a day we all had at Ironman 70.3 Ohio. We can all agree our trip to Sandusky was well worth the drive time to get there.

From start to finish, the day was memorable and we will forever cherish the experience. Come share a beer or beverag...

Why in the world would we drive 21 hours to Sandusky, Ohio? Ironman 70.3 Ohio, of course! We're always down to swim-bike-run, but in our opinion it's the journey along the way and the fun we have among friends and other likeminded triathletes that is the best part of triathlon.

Our Experience As Self-Coached Triathletes

Triathlon and triathlon training can be very intimidating, and deciding to hire a coach or go it on your own is a daunting decision. In our years as triathletes we've gone the coached route and also self-coached, but it's been awhile since we've done in ourselves. As 2024 approached, we made the decision to go all-in on coaching ourselves. There are challenges with that, but we believe this pat...

Daaaang seems like I should've picked Texas for my first, but I chose Waco because it's closer. Just did the Hotter'n Hell Hundred in Wichita Falls, TX so I think I'll enjoy the "cooler" weather in October compared to that. Great video. Gonna put a few of these on my bucket list.
Nah…you’ll love Waco! And then you can do Texas. Honestly, there are no bad races in our Top 10. We’d do any of them again, honestly. Congrats on conquering HHH. We hope to get up there and do that one year ourselves.
When I did Waco (which transfered to after 2 TX Covid postponements) it was a late start (due to full the day before) and was hoping for cooler weather especially for the run, but it is TX and when I got off the bike to start the run that day the heat index was about 90. But at least it was later in the day so it did start to cool down after the sun was down etc. Also, as they mentioned the bike course has changed since then too. Actually, I think Caitlin was on the course, and Tiffany was there supporting that day, but don't remember seeing them.
1) TX (logistically easy, flat bike/run (weather can be a bit unpredictable in Apr though 2) Hawaii (swim by far clearest water, heat/humidiy knock it down for me.) , 3) Waco.. Unfortunately, it wasn't my day for doing Cda (but what I saw of the area..1 transistion area in a shaded part of a park.. lake swim (likely wetsuit legal), bike course (mostly closed course) has hills, and run is through town with a lot of support).. likely would have made it above Waco (maybe even Hawaii but only because of the heat/humidity factor. Scenery wise was great and friendly folks in town.
That’s a great list! CdA is iconic for sure. And kudos to conquering Hawaii. That course is never easy!
This is great. I’m signed up for Ohio 25. Did Iowa 24 agree with your assessment Ohio must be a good one for it to be 2 over chart. Don’t chatt 70.3 twice and loved it. Looking forward to Ohio. Thanks yall keep rockn
You'll love Ohio next year. We'll definitely make it back there sometime!
We were blown away by Ohio! It’s also nice that it was smaller than Chattanooga. But Chatty is still a great one.
Such a great course. Hard to beat the road conditions on the bike.
None of the Zwift stuff including hub is approved in the Mywhoosh Sunday race clubs or premium events. So not worth getting it if you're the competitive cyclist. 👎 Best off with Wahoo gear or Atom.
I love it!
Thanks for the accountability to keep me heading the gym!
No more noodle arms!
You guys are inspiring. I need to get in the gym!! Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to your videos on Sunday.
Go get those gains! Sometimes it is hard when there’s already a good amount of SBR. But we never regret a good lift session when we’re done.
It's the 80s montage music that really drives it home for me.
Hahaha. So glad you caught the reference. It felt so right in the edit. 😂
I added strength session to my triathlon training and it’s been a game changer!
So many upsides for sure! It’s nice to have a bit of time to use this as the focus, but it will be nice to get back on that SBR build.
Your production quality is great. Glad I found the channel. I'm doing my first Half-Ironman in Waco this October. I'm excited.
Heya 👋🏼 ! Thank you for the kind comment. We’re glad you found us as well. All the best on your journey to the finish line in Waco. We have a few videos from past Waco races, too! 😉
New subscriber here, found you on Instagram through a Reel! Love this rewind! Fellow vlogger here and love the day to day life stuff! Thank you for sharing ❤

So fun to see the beginning and where you are today. I look forward to your videos each Sunday. Thanks for sharing!!

Super Dope! 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations!!! What a great finish for all - it’s awesome to see you guys have the season you deserve!
Thank youuuuu! It’s been fun that we’re all sharing in the good times. ☺️
All of you are awesome and so inspiring!! Train hard and go after those goals. Excited to see what you will do!!
Thank you for following along, friend!
We appreciate your support so much! We will keep working hard to earn more good results.
I follow you guys on here and finally saw one of you all during the race Ty for the content as always!
Heck yeah! Were you coming out of the swim, by chance? It was great to get to a new destination and a new part of the country for us. We were blown away by how amazing it all was.
Awesome hospitality and a stunning location 😊
All of the above! We are happy with our decision to add it to our race schedule this season.
Congrats on your awesome day, Tiffany!
Thanks, friend! I’m glad we’ve been able to share so many great experiences together this season!
Love all of you! You’re crushing it! ❤
Thanks, Mom! Sorry about drinking in the park afterwards lol
We love you for all the support you give! Thank you for being a part of our journey. 🧡
@colinlord You heathen. 😂
Fun seeing you all come through the swim! I was a volunteer, haven't gotten up to a 70.3 myself just yet.
Thank you for volunteering! Hope you get to take that 70.3 plunge someday. We are all grateful to get through the swim. But it really wasn’t as bad as it was hyped to be.
Thanks for volunteering! These races wouldn’t happen without y’all!
Flashbacks of buying a Giant CycloSmart
Love seeing all of you enjoying your time together. I need recipes for that veggie something (soup?) that was being prepared! Fair winds and have a great race, everyone!
A really yummy Mexican rice dish! We will share. Having a great time and excited for the race to come. 🧡
Glad to see you’re all so relaxed! Have a great race!
Lots of laughs and great times!

We’ve had so much fun already. And we get to do a Tri? Good times. Thanks for watching!
You guys are great!! Good luck to all of you this weekend!! Race Mighty!!
Thank youuuuuu! It’s great we can have so much fun throw do a triathlon in the mix, too.
Better label those razors, eh, have a great wk/end peeps
Fortunately they are color coded. @colinlord will make sure to share a pic of them on the socials 😂
You need to change your training two weeks before your event otherwise you will not be in a fresh condition.All the hard word should be done months before.Its only sharp sessions that are needed to keep the muscles tight.
Rule of 1/3s... It happens.. I know you'll keep moving forward! Great stuff.
We need to listen to our bodies for sure, rest, recover and feel better for the next workout
Another great video. Glad you were able to stay focused on not letting one workout define your training. Good luck in Ohio! We’ll be tracking you guys.
Appreciate it, Mike! It’s all about perspective and knowing how much training DOES go to plan. Lots of that in the bank. Thanks for following and cheering - as always!
Great jobs guys. Keep up the good work
Appreciate you, Brad! Where will we see you next???
@@TeamSaundersTri I'm not real sure. I'm doing IMFL in November along with 2 HS friends as part of a fundraiser for a kid that was paralyzed in a car accident.
@bradtomlinson8252 - You’re amazing. All the best in your training and lead up. Keep us posted on how it all goes!
Like the concept, but the music choice should have a purpose to match the visual appeal. A good beginning is to choose a beat that matches the pace of the runner, swimmer, or cyclist - for example. Another commonly used editing technique is to use close ups interchanged with medium and wide setup shots as directional choice for the edit. In other words, if you have a person looking a certain direction, follow their eyes and cut to show what they are looking at. If you have runners running or bikes moving past the camera, then cut with a swish turn edit in the same direction. Then, shift to a new clip, starting a new sequence of - set-up, focal point, and ending - to help group clips with meaning. All the while, using music beats to the cuts, thus keeping a continuity of music and storytelling. The key is to tell a purposeful story or many short stories with the edit combined with music designed to create a mood. The "That Trathlon Life" does a good job of using music with a story... so does, Ironman promo videos on TH-cam. These editing techniques take time to learn, but once learned, you add a lot of value to your efforts. Btw, keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking time to comment. Appreciate the feedback.
Love this
Thank you! We hope to do more like this. The age group triathletes deserve their time in the spotlight!
I know I'm wildly biased, but all of this footage just confirms my belief that Chatt is the best venue!
*in the US 😉 - but you’re right. The beauty of this course, the city and the support keeps us coming back.
Forget the swim , what about that great song !
🔥
Hawaii 🙂 heat/humidity are brutal for for the rest though🥵
You’re right on all accounts!
Super exciting. Congratulations!!
Thank you, Taylor!
It’s so cool to see Colin perform. He always races with heart!
Great race.. Sometimes that is just how the cards are dealt.. You gave it everything man.. Good job.
Thanks, Rob. I agree. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out. Appreciate you following along!
The rewards are going to be that much sweeter in the long run!
What a race!! Congratulations Colin!! Next year I will be cheering you on in Marbella. Stay strong and positive. ❤
Appreciate that, friend! It was a great day, regardless of what happened at awards.
He was a man on a mission!
I raced Iowa seen you a few times everytime I said good luck or offered encouragement you responded which is hard to do during max efforts so just wanted to say great effort Collin and I really enjoy watching the team Saunders journey. Keep rockn
Of course! I hope you had a wonderful race out there!
Class act! Hope your day was great, Danny!
So proud of you, Colin. And so grateful for Tiff and Cait. 🧡
Love you, @katylord87 ❤
A special memorable weekend. Love sharing these with both of you! 🧡
So proud of my firstborn! I must have done something right (or at least not too wrong) to have raised such a kind, loving, truly exceptional human being! ❤
@@vickielord5978 You get to claim credit, Mom. You told me for my entire childhood that I needed to put down the Nintendo and go get some exercise!
Fantastic work Colin. You were flying on that run.
I kept trying to tell myself that as soon as I crossed the finish line, a whole bunch of rest days were awaiting me!
And he made it look effortless!
Congratulations on a great race Colin. That’s a tough break but it sounds like you have a great perspective on the day.
Thanks man. It was a great day. And now I've got some free time on my weekends!
Slot allocations and rolldowns are so nerve wracking! But we know there are more great rewards coming his way.
So damn proud of you Colin!!!! You are so inspiring and truly blessed to be loved in such an amazing way! Congratulations on an excellent race and lifetime PR!
Thank you, friend! I consider myself very blessed regardless of whatever might have happened at this or any other slot allocation!
We’ve said it before, Colin is the real deal! Glad we get a front row seat to his success.
I'm not teary your teary, OMG I felt everything Collin but you always find the positive and that's something I love about these race reports, Congratulations what a amazing day,
I try! It was a long drive home, but I tried to remind myself that there isn't anything productive about staying upset over this or wondering where I could have found those 2.5 minutes throughout the day.
We always watch in awe. If Colin has a goal, put your bets down he’s gonna get it.
Congratulations, Colin on a great race!! I appreciate your heartfelt comments. I got teary listening to you. I am 53 and just lost my husband of 32 years unexpectedly in February. Hang on to your sweet Katie!! You know what is REALLY important in life!! - I love following all of you and wish a fantastic season for all of you. Keep working hard!!
I'm so sorry for your loss, Amy. I can't imagine what that was like. Really appreciate the comment and that you are following along with us. Thank you!
Reason number 9,999 to always root for Colin!
I bought one too and it's breaking less than a year, and 800 miles, time to complain.I don't think I'll buy any further hardware from this company. :(
Oh no…hate that for you. Definitely some good options out there these days though. Hope you can find something that fits your needs.
