CYCLING TECHNIQUE: MANTRA
The running mantra is Pose-Fall-Pull. In cycling it is Pose-Unweight. In action, however, it all happens a lot faster than you might be able to say it. So, know your mantra, but focus on action. From the Pose Method point of view, in cycling, as in running, there is no "push". And, there is no "pull" or "lift". There is "pose" and then "unweight". The key position, or the pose, is sitting centered on the saddle with feet on pedals at 3 and 9 o'clock. The force moment in cycling is between 1-4 o'clock. So "working" beyond that "time" frame...

SO, YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT A GOOD SWIMMER?
Every now and then we hear triathletes say: Oh I'm not a good swimmer, so I save my energy/strength for bike and run, or something along those lines. The irony is that you actually spend more energy, if your technique is poor. It does not matter, if you feel or if you think you're saving energy, in reality it takes more efforts and more energy from you to cover the distance with a so-so technique.
