There are three things that Andy and Terri consider to be most important to a good performance come race day and Trysport can assist you with all of these:

1. The right training program

• Are you training the right energy systems? Are you improving on strengths AND weaknesses? Do you know which specific sessions should be done to take on the uniquely flat Busselton course? We cater for the new novice right through to the old-timer who has raced for years and wants some variety in their tried and true training regime.
• Here are some examples of a multi-sport programme (overview program and weekly program), general strength programme, core stability and flexibility.

2. Max Heart Rate Testing

• Working in the right heart rate zone is essential both in training for AND competing in the Half Ironman. The only way to ensure that you are working at the correct heart rates is to have your max heart rate tested as this provides the ranges which you will use in training and racing. We offer various Testing services to allow the athlete to monitor their progress in their training or to provide accurate Pace/Intensity determinants. If you want to train smart and get the best results from your training, regular and appropriate testing will provide you with valuable information to reach your desired level of fitness and make the best use of your training time.

3. Correct bike setup

• Comfort in the aero position is crucial on the Busselton Half Ironman course. If your bike is not set up correctly it will have a massive impact on your bike and run times on race day. And naturally a professional bike setup ensures that you are comfortable when training as well! In order for you to be comfortable and efficient on your bike, it is important to have a bike that is the correct size and adjusted for your particular proportions, flexibility, riding style and race application. We can set you up to accommodate any special requirements or conditions.

Trysport offers three different positioning sessions depending on your requirements and goals.

1. Basic Session

The Basic Session incorporates a general observation of your position, making adjustments where required. This session will set you up in a comfortable and efficient position.

This session takes 30 minutes and costs $50

2. Intermediate Session

The Intermediate Session includes observation with a more detailed analysis of your position. Using our Cycling Analysis System, I analyze the efficiency of your position. Changes may include saddle position (height, fore/aft, angle), handlebar/aerobar position (height, extension, angle) and foot/cleat position (fore/aft, lateral, rotation).

This session allows for more time to be spent making adjustments. It takes 60-75 minutes and costs $150

3. Advanced Session

The Advanced Session incorporates all of the components of the Intermediate Session along with the use of the Cycling Analysis System, Heart Rate Max Testing, pedaling technique & power output analysis (Critical Power Test).

This session takes 90-120 minutes and costs $200

What You Need

Cycling shorts, jersey, cycling shoes, pedals (with new cleats), heart rate monitor (when applicable) and of course, your bike.
N.B. bring aero bars along if race/use application demands their fit.

What could be worse than investing in a bike that doesn't fit you? Its not uncommon for cyclists to purchase bikes that don’t fit them or are not suitable for the application. If you are planning on purchasing a new bike, I can give you the dimensions of the bike you will need, including all the finer details of the attachments and accessories to the bike itself. I spend a lot of time working on how cyclists/triathletes and their bikes fit together. I will make sure that your bike not only fits you, but you have an optimal position for maximizing pedaling efficiency and power output.

Sport Specific Strength Conditioning

Strength training can help to fortify your bodies muscles and connective tissues against the likelihood of injury and improve your functional strength and power in your chosen sport.

The exercises in the program should be specific to the movement patterns associated within the sport and if the program is designed with this in mind, will be most beneficial to the athlete.

Andrew Budge specializes in sport specific strength training for many different sports and can also advise on rehabilitation exercise regimes as well as appropriate core stability routines. TRYSPORT is a modern fully equipped Gymnasium.
