No aid stations – surviving Xtreme triathlons

Pas de postes de secours – survivant aux triathlons Xtreme

Depuis que le Norseman Xtreme Triathlon a été conçu en 2003, il a captivé l'imagination de nombreux triathlètes à la recherche de quelque chose de spécial : plus d'escalade, un terrain plus difficile et une météo imprévisible. En 2018, plus de 4 000 personnes ont postulé pour l’un des 250 créneaux de départ très convoités de la loterie ; Il existe désormais huit autres triathlons Xtreme dans le monde, et trois autres sont en préparation. Couvrant la distance typique d'un Ironman (parfois avec quelques kilomètres supplémentaires pour faire bonne mesure), ces courses point à point impliquent souvent de nombreux passages de cols de montagne et nécessitent que vous disposiez d'une équipe d'assistance dédiée pour vous nourrir et continuer votre chemin. Alors, que faut-il pour réaliser un triathlon Xtreme ? Nous vous expliquons les points clés pour garantir une journée réussie lors de l'un de ces événements épiques.

Ne voyagez pas trop léger

Les triathlons Xtreme peuvent impliquer des conditions météorologiques assez difficiles et, contrairement à de nombreux grands événements, il n'y aura généralement pas d'exposition de courses pour acheter des objets oubliés la veille. Alors réfléchissez bien à chaque éventualité ; quelle sera la température de l'eau ? Devrez-vous descendre à vélo sous la pluie ? Vous devez mettre tous vos différents éléments d'équipement dans des sacs clairement étiquetés que votre équipe peut récupérer dans la voiture dès que vous en avez besoin. Vous devrez aussi souvent emporter avec vous certains objets spécifiques (imperméables, couvertures de sauvetage, lampe frontale, etc.) pendant une partie de la course, et s'il manque quelque chose, vous ne serez pas autorisé à continuer - lisez le manuel de course dans avancez pour vérifier ce dont vous avez besoin !

Soyez à l'aise en nageant seul

De nombreux triathlons Xtreme impliquent une nage point à point, souvent avec seulement une lumière géante (ou un feu !) sur le rivage pour la navigation. Le petit terrain de départ s'étend rapidement sur 3,8 kilomètres, alors soyez prêt à nager seul et préparez-vous mentalement à la longueur de la distance sans bouées pour marquer votre progression. Essayez de faire de longues nages ininterrompues dans la piscine pour obtenir un bon rythme confortable.

Et le vélo ?

Bien que les collines de nombreux Xtreme Triathlons incitent les gens à envisager des vélos de route pour ces courses, il vaut souvent la peine de considérer qu'un vélo TT peut vous faire gagner beaucoup de temps et d'énergie sur les sections plus plates et plus venteuses. Monter des barres TT sur un vélo de route en vaut certainement la peine, mais si vous êtes habitué à un vélo TT, tenez-vous-y ! Vérifiez les pentes spécifiques des principales montées pour vous assurer que votre cassette est à la hauteur, et rappelez-vous que vous devez installer des lumières sur votre vélo pendant au moins certaines parties du parcours – par mauvais temps, cela peut être nécessaire à tout moment, donc si vous pensez que vos batteries ne peuvent pas survivre 6 heures ou plus, montez deux jeux.

Planifiez l'endroit où votre équipage vous rencontrera

Il n'y a pas de postes de ravitaillement dans la majorité des courses Xtreme, ce qui signifie que vous avez besoin d'une voiture avec au moins un supporter pour vous ravitailler tout au long du parcours. Comme vous ne pouvez rien prendre d'une voiture en mouvement, votre équipage doit rouler devant vous, s'arrêter, vous dépasser ce dont vous avez besoin (vous pouvez vous arrêter ou rouler lentement, mais votre équipage doit prendre tous les déchets que vous déposez !), puis monter à bord. la voiture et conduisez jusqu'au prochain arrêt. Une voiture d'équipage ne peut pas rouler derrière ou devant vous pendant plus de quelques secondes, et en réalité, elle n'en aura pas l'occasion, car elle vous dépassera toujours à la recherche du prochain arrêt. La plupart des guides de courses recommandent les meilleurs endroits (et en interdisent expressément les autres), vous pouvez donc les examiner et décider quels endroits répondent à vos besoins nutritionnels. Habituellement, vous devriez pouvoir voir votre équipe tous les 30 kilomètres à vélo.

Sachez ce que vous pouvez digérer

Bien que la distance soit la même, l'escalade impliquée dans les triathlons Xtreme signifie que vous resterez là-bas beaucoup plus longtemps qu'un Ironman – au moins deux heures supplémentaires, et potentiellement un peu plus. La nutrition joue un rôle important pour vous permettre de tenir le coup jusqu'à la fin, alors assurez-vous d'abord de prendre en compte les temps de course plus longs et de calculer vos calories en fonction des heures plutôt que des kilomètres. Cependant, vous pouvez également y voir une opportunité d'incorporer des aliments qui pourraient ne pas fonctionner dans une course rapide et plate – les longs cols de montagne sont une excellente occasion de manger un sandwich ou un morceau de pain aux bananes. Si vous n'avez aucun problème à les digérer, vous vous sentirez peut-être nettement mieux en courant que si vous aviez passé les 8 dernières heures sous des gels. Testez votre stratégie nutritionnelle dans les semaines précédant la course, mais n'ayez pas peur de manger des aliments solides sur le parcours vélo.

Ne négligez pas votre équipage

Si vous participez à un Xtreme Triathlon, vous faites partie des rares personnes chanceuses sur terre. C'est parce que vous avez au moins un ami qui est prêt à se lever à 2 heures du matin, à vous suivre toute la journée pendant que vous exigez de la nourriture et une boisson, mais pas CETTE boisson, et finalement, plusieurs heures plus tard, franchissez la ligne d'arrivée à vos côtés. . Prenez soin de cette (ou ces) personne(s) ! Assurez-vous qu'il y a beaucoup de nourriture pour eux dans la voiture, qu'ils ont également des vêtements de rechange prêts et qu'ils sont suffisamment en forme pour vous accompagner sur la course à pied (si cela est autorisé). Idéalement, votre équipe sera également assez à l’aise pour conduire sur des routes à proximité de cyclistes. C'est une journée de partage, et cela ne serait pas possible sans eux, alors planifiez en gardant cela à l'esprit !

Ayez un plan B

Vous êtes sur le point de vous lancer dans une longue journée qui se terminera à près de 230 kilomètres de votre point de départ. Les choses peuvent facilement mal tourner, et si c'est le cas, vous ne pouvez pas vous arrêter à un poste de ravitaillement, revenir à la transition ou attendre une voiture d'assistance neutre. Selon la course, votre équipage pourrait même ne pas être autorisé à vous aider avec des problèmes mécaniques mineurs. . Ce n’est pas le moment d’économiser du poids en abandonnant votre kit de réparation de crevaison ou en mettant fin à votre course plus tôt parce que votre voiture d’assistance a des problèmes mécaniques. Heureusement, cela fait partie de la philosophie des Xtreme Triathlons que tous les concurrents s'entraident, et les courses précédentes ont vu des gens proposer de la nourriture supplémentaire, des chaussures et même des vélos pour s'assurer que les athlètes atteignent la ligne d'arrivée.

Les courses de triathlon Xtreme sont en plein essor et ce format constitue une façon unique et magnifique de tester vos limites. Attendez-vous au meilleur, soyez prêt à ce que certaines choses tournent mal et vous vous inscrirez au prochain avant de vous en rendre compte. Bonne chance à la loterie

Did you know ZONE3 revolutionised T1? The now iconic speed cuff was a game-changing innovation that made wetsuit removal faster and smoother. A feature that most of us take for granted these days, but didn’t exist 16 years ago! What began on our OG Aspire back in 2009, has since been adopted throughout the Zone3 range (including the NEW Aspire) and across the whole industry. 👊 📍 Quays Swim, Mychett
