Dear athletes, below the relevant updates for the upcoming month
* 2 races coming in May, Ratchaburi and phuket, includes a discount for members
* Coming up – Endurance Weekend in Hua Hin 10th/11th June
* Members Updates: 100% podium finishes at Pattana Tri Festival
We are seeing at these recent races, the result of the past 3 years of work. Since the lockdown a lot of our members managed to stay fit despite the lack of races, and now that they are back, the competition is still getting back in shape while our team is flying, that resulted in ALL, 100% of the ironguides athletes with a valid membership who participated at the Pattana Tri festival, to get a podium finish, including overall wins in the Standard distance.
Next up, two events were recently announced for the end of May, I recommend doing these to keep motivation high and to bridge the gap until the major races that are taking place at the end of the year
Enjoy your training,
Vinnie Santana
ironguides Head Coach

Dear athletes, below the relevant updates for the upcoming month
* New Date – Endurance Weekend in Hua Hin 10th/11th June
* Members Updates: Podium Sweep at Sam Roi Yot Triathlon
* Songkran week break – no classes 10th & 12th April (memberships credited 1 week)
After a 2 year hiatus we had the Sam Roi Yot Triathlon again, some great results from the team, those on the podium are the ones who have stayed fit over the last few years despite all the hiccups. Training hard with no races in the calendar is an important skill to develop
There is a lack of races now from April until August, during this time, i recommend picking single disciplines events such as the Oceanman in Pattaya (May) or the 10 miles at Super sports then in June the ironguides Endurance weekend and Pattana Tridash, this will help to keep on building skills, fitness and race experience. And for motivation, just join our group sessions as in one way or another we have a race every week and its great to boost motivation
Enjoy your training,
Vinnie Santana
ironguides Head Coach

Waking up on a monday with good news from New Zealand as Kipsan, who has been an ironguides athlete for almost 8 years, had a successful ironman debut, in 10h28, at age 50, 4th place AG, which qualified him for the World Champs in Nice. I created a five step list which helped Kipsan in such a successful first ironman so you can understand how the development of an athlete of that level works
On the group classes front, last month we saw the biggest running class since pre-covid at the reopening of the track.
See you this weekend at the Sam Roi Yot Triathlon.
Enjoy your training,
Vinnie Santana

* End year holidays dates announced (last session 21st dec)
One year ago, we were running a race simulation weekend in South Hua Hin as an alternate for the cancelled Laguna Phuket Triathlon (LPT) 2021. As i now see the results of LPT 2022, i see that most athletes who took part at our own race, did very well in 2022. These are the athletes that never took a long break and just stuck to the day in day out training for a year. Ironman and Ironman 70.3 Malaysia and Philippines was the same, we had 3 athletes qualifying for the world championships.
The professional winner of LPT, Charlie Quin, has joined our group run 1x 10 years ago, he is the son of an old member, back then he was already racing at a high level in the junior category, 10 years later he is now a world class triathlete
The message here, is that triathlon performance is a very long term process, either as an beginner amateur or high performance pro, while the final 3 months into the races are important, long term development takes years of work.
See you for a Margarita at the ironguides Social so we can celebrate the 2022 success and get ready for 2023
Enjoy your training,
