How are you enjoying your winter pool training? In my experience triathletes usually fall into one of two camps – those who love training indoors and see open water as a necessarly evil , and those wo find pool sessions a bit tedious and can’t wait for the freedom and space of swimming outdoors. Either way, though, if you can start to practise some race skills in the pool now, you’ll be in a much better position come April when most triathletes head back to the lakes and coast. Sighting, swimming in a straight line, breathing patterns and drafting are all easy things to incorporate in every pool swim – turn to p22 to find out more. Once you have done that, the following feature (p31) will give you plenty of 2024 event inspiration to put your new skills into practice. Roll on race season!
