Last race weekend of 2020 brought few podium spots for Ironguides squad both in Ranong and Bangkok 

2 overall podiums and few age group awards for the team in Ranong.

Seems Navy triathlon will be "A" race in the first quater of 2021. 

Meantime in Bangkok Kipsan Beck proved that he is ''king of dash'' with top 3 finishes over weekend, on Saturday Dash distance and Sunday – Long Dash. Also taking overall win by points at GC for 2020 season!!

Not to forget about our new Ironguides athlete, who join our squad early 2020 and getting award "Rockie of the year" – k'Gam
(18min improvement on the same course). Keep it up!

Even with less race in the schedule its important to keep training regulary and consistently. When race pop up – you ready to smash it!

Weekly virtual bike session on Zwift 

We keep our weekly virtual meet-ups on Zwift leading by coach Ivan Vlasenko

Every Tuesday and Thursday: Ironguides meet up on Zwift, 18:40 (80min, main set: short intervals/hill repeats 30-180sec to improve your VO2max)

How it works: 
You need Zwift membership and the right set-up at home, ideally including a smart trainer with resistance and the Zwift Companion app on your phone.
In order to be able to join the meet-up, you need to follow "Ivan Vlasenko" on Zwift and Zwift Companion Application.
Once you follow  he will be able to invite you for a “meet-up”, and you need to accept the invitation in the app. It will appear in your planned events in the app.
You must connect to Zwift and start riding by yourself by clicking on "ride" at least 5 minutes before the official starting time. You can select any map, it does not matter. DO NOT click on "Ride with Ivan Vlasenko" on the menu page, else you might miss the official meet-up.

Once "in the game", you should be able to click on “join Ivan Vlasenko’s meet-up” on the bottom left of the screen. The blue button will appear 5 minutes before the start of the meet-up. We will all be cycling on the Zwift stationary trainer for a few minutes until the official start time, use this as a warm-up and make sure you are ready for the ride (water, food, towels, fan, AC etc).
