20 Jun, 2018Tech Tip from the Cycling Center: Does your drivetrain look like the photo above? If so, you could be wearing out your critical components on your bike prematurely and making yourself slower. The photo shows what we call cross chaining, which is when the chain is shifted into the combination of your largest chainring and largest cog (big/big), or your smallest chainring and smallest cog (small/small). The big/big combination is the more damaging of the two combinations, and also the most common. Prolonged riding and storage of your bike is this combination creates undo stress on your chain and the springs in your rear derailleur, and makes you slower due to efficiency loss caused by excessive friction. One easy way to avoid this situation is to always start and finish your rides in the small chainring. This will ensure that you're in an easy gear during the warm-up and cool-down phases of your workout, and that your storing your bike properly once your ride is done. #dowork #trainsmart #triathlon #embracethechallenge #iamwithoutlimits@iamwithoutlimits

This is called Functional Training. The strengthening of sport specific muscles will lead to better muscular balance and joint stability which will reduce the risk of injury, increase your level of performance and set yourself up for a successful racing season. Here coach Maleia demonstrates 3 exercises you can use in your functional training routine. #triathletefunctionaltraining #swimbikerunstrong #iamwithoutlimits #embracethechallenge@iamwithoutlimits35
