Alex Coates: Need Motivation?

http://alexcoates.blogspot.com/2013/05/need-motivation.html

My training, racing, things that go through my head, memorable moments, and such. Thursday, May 30, 2013. Here is my (slightly pathetic) top 5 of what I did find. 5 Not the world's most inspirational video, but if you need a little testosterone surge here is the All Blacks doing their best Haka in my opinion:. 4 I realize that Lance Armstrong is a doper (so are most of the best cyclists in the Tour de France, let's face it), but that doesn't make getting a top tube to the nads any less painful. How Our I...

When you've got an idea though, you’ve got to get it out! Sports help girls to find themselves. Class bitch with spray tan bullying you? I’m not advocating violence here! Sports help girls find their inner badass. I don&...

Alex Coates: Triathlon vs Hunger Games

http://alexcoates.blogspot.com/2012/03/triathlon-vs-hunger-games.html

My training, racing, things that go through my head, memorable moments, and such. Friday, March 23, 2012. Triathlon vs Hunger Games. A few days ago we had the afternoon off, it was bucketing rain, and it happened to be the opening day of The Hunger Games. So naturally we went. That’s right, we didn’t even need advanced tickets to see it two days before you guys. Booyah. Instead of a real event. As Ellen said, “Well it puts triathlon into perspective; at least we aren’t going to die! In Triathlon athletes...

My training, racing, things that go through my head, memorable moments, and such. Tuesday, August 7, 2012. 5 Fun Facts from the Olympic Triathlon.

Hup Hup. 1 You know the treadmill at the gym that goes 20 km/hr max? 3 Javier Gomez swam a 17 minute 1500m in the lake. That is holding an average of 1:08s/100m while. Crashed on two years ago!

http://alexcoates.blogspot.com/2012/11/2012-season-review.html

My training, racing, things that go through my head, memorable moments, and such. Thursday, November 8, 2012. I didn't necessarily meet all of my goals, or perform the way I wanted to, but I am a different triathlete than I was a year ago, which may be just as important. Here is a multi-media review of my year. In January I was lucky enough to go to Maui again. It was (once again) an amazing experience! But here is a video of the race:.

Alex Coates: Athlete Triad: An Update

http://alexcoates.blogspot.com/2013/01/athlete-triad-update.html

My training, racing, things that go through my head, memorable moments, and such. Sunday, January 20, 2013. Athlete Triad: An Update. I thought I'd post a summary of what Kyla and I talked about on here, since it pertains to triathletes (Not Just Women! It isn't cited all the way through, as this is just what we talked about in class. The references are all at the bottom though, just in case. This put into question the body fat hypothesis, as although we trained hard, not many of the girls fell into the ...
