On a cool May morning, Colleen Bousman stands by the edge of Lake San Antonio, nestled in a remote canyon on California’s Central Coast. While her mind is racing with an endless agenda – and her phone pings with alerts and messages from her staff of 65 – she takes a minute to soak it all in. She scans the crowd, a sea of people donning wetsuits, shaking out their arms and legs, or nervously chatting to one another as they prepare to dash into the lake.

Last year, a major soccer tournament forced the Ironman European Championships in Frankfurt to be delayed until the middle of August. This year, it’s back at its traditional date in late June, and the two major German full-distance races in Frankfurt and Roth are once again only one week apart. Following the female European Championships in Hamburg four weeks ago, Frankfurt will host the male version with more than 50 registered pro athletes.

But then it happens – an announcement crackles over the loudspeaker: “Attention athletes, the start will be delayed…”But before you start spiraling, remember this: race-day delays aren’t the end of the world.

This 10-minute stretch routine is designed for you to do after a workout. I often hear from people that they never know what exactly to do after a run or a ride that just stops without a cooldown. These after-workout stretches are your answer. The short full-body stretch routine targets the hips, hamstrings, shoulders, and upper back. You can also use it as either a morning or evening yoga class since it focuses on flexibility and full-body relaxation.

There are certain conversations you can only have with other triathletes, and this is one of them: Let’s talk about triathlon peeing. In case you hadn’t heard, triathletes pee anywhere and everywhere in triathlon: in their wetsuit (before the swim, during it, and when jogging to T1), while riding their bike, in transition (usually sitting but sometimes standing), and when running.
