Hello everyone!
It’s nearly May! Hope you are
looking forward to a long bank holiday weekend come rain or shine.
Triathlon Swim Coaching in Devon
So we already know that
PeteWilbyTriathlon offers fantastic triathlon swim coaching in Devon. But May
is set to be even better!
Pete will be back from Mallorca
on May 4th and will bring his extra coaching experience and skills
with him. He has been working hard on video-analysis and has found it is a
really effective way to vastly improve swim stroke.
Underwater video is a great way
to analyse what is going on with the stroke under the water. It is possible to slow the footage down and
mark references for comparison. Pete says "It works
a bit like a mirror does in the morning, before work, when you tidy yourself up".
Top athletes use video analysis to help fine tune their stroke
for those marginal gains. Rob Brundish
(pro Ironman athlete) has been making the most of the underwater video to
improve his stroke.
Any ability swimmer can benefit. Check out this before-and-after
video to see how video analysis has helped Johnathon (TriCamp guest) in just a one hour 121 session with Pete:
‘Weekend Warrior’ Training Camps in Devon
May also brings the first of the
PeteWilbyTriathlon ‘Weekend Warrior’ training camps in Devon. Bringing the fun
from Mallorca, Pete will be coaching David Wilby, James Sands and Peter Pickering for their
first Super Sprint Triathlon at London, Docklands this summer. These weekend warriors will be thoroughly briefed on proper wetsuit fitting, open water tactics, group riding, ascending and descending on the bike. They will partake in core stability and beach circuits, an open water skills session and pool based video session, beautiful cycle rides and a run drills and pacing session.
They will be
travelling from London to enjoy what Teignmouth has to offer: The outdoor lido
pool, the sea, the great cycle routes and running on the sea wall. It will be a lot of training in a small space
of time.
Fancy having a go at a “Weekend Warrior” Training Camp?
You won’t be disappointed! Even
if you’re local, you’ll benefit from great quality coaching and lifeguarded sea
swimming. Whether you want to be a ‘Weekend Warrior’ to gain speed, confidence
or miles- Pete can help! Email, tweet, phone or drop a comment on the Facebook
page!

do you think is missing? What do you like? Or what would you like removed? Also,
