One thing I know is inlaw issues, and it’s hard because you want to say something but don’t want to risk ruining your own relationship. It is a VERY fine line of what you can and can not say, because you are family, BUT you’re not at the same time. I think I have seen my fair share of family drama and my parents fighting it out about them and now have dealt with it myself during my own relationship.
Having great training plans is important when you are planning to do a triathlon. They help prevent injuries, get you ready in all three sports, and help you prepare physically as well as mentally. But no matter how great your cycling coaching is and your plans are, if you are not following them, they will not work! You will need strong will power, and real determination to get through both the training as well as the race. Without them, you will not achieve your goals and might not even manage to finish.
