Since I still feel like a tri newbie, and I have so many experienced and pro tri friends, I've decided to make a a little survey/quiz to find out how the experts do things.
- Time of day do you most often do your workouts? Why?
- What do you wear on race day?
- What do you eat on race day?
- Sleeveless or full wetsuit?
- Where do you come up with your training plans?
- What do you do when weather "interrupts" your planned work out?
- Do you train in the same shoes you race in?
- Do you really pee on your bike?
- Besides swim, bike, run, what other exercise do you find most useful for your training?
- If you could give just one piece of advice to a tri newbie, what would it be?

6. Weather never interrupts my workout. I will adapt. I am VERY good at training in rain.
7. Even when I am training.
8. Power Vinyasa Yoga
9. Have fun. Don't get caught up in the bling of bikes. It's the engine that really matters. Love what you are doing, and while Ironman is fun.... it's not the end all be all.
