Your first Ironman and your projected finish-time becomes a frequently asked question.

What do you think your finish-time will be? This question will come from friends, family, co-workers and fellow athletes.

Its amazing just how loaded this question is.

Usually when someone is training for their first Ironman, they will say something like, “I don’t care, I just want to cross the finish line.”

Realistically, there are three possible Ironman finish-time scenarios.

The first is the “I don’t care as long as its under 17 hours scenario.” You tell this one to just about everyone who asks.

For guys, shaving their legs for the big race has pretty well become an important part of Ironman race preparation. Its right up there with carbo loading and pre-race hydration.

Actually, more to the point, its become a tradition and the mark of a real honest to God triathlete who has truly arrived. Well, at least in the minds of some.

I doubt if all novice ironmen actually realize why leg-shaving takes place and why the heck they’re putting themselves through it in the first place.

Your treasured mountain bike holidays would be ruined if you were not riding the right bike. Bikes meant for mountain holidays are designed to provide a smooth ride over rough and rugged terrains. Mountain bikes are equipped with flat knobby tires and a capacity of extra traction and shock absorption. Previously, mountain bikes had flat straight handlebars. Now the trend has changed and the recent bikes are fitted with riser handlebars. This provides more grip to the rider as he whistles away on the bike enjoying every moment of his craggy holiday.
