Bonus: 1987 Dave Scott Clinic In Cambridge
Here’s the third of four bonus blog posts to go with the latest podcast episode. TSP24: Season Openers Part 1.
I’m a huge fan of Dave Scott’s book. I talked about it in TSP19. But at the end of 1987 I was just discovering triathlon. So wasn’t in the loop enough to find out about his Cambridge clinic.
Dave had just won his 6th Hawaii Ironman title. And 1987 was a great one visually and for story-telling. Mark Allen details it well in chapters 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Total Triathlete. IMO it’s better than 1989’s Iron War. Don’t cancel me.
I like Peter Jack’s report below though. My hightlights:
Dave had a briefcase.
Dave’s bike-fitting technique. I use something similar. Comfortable. Intuitive. Relaxed power.
Get very fit on the bike to run well in triathlons.
I like to lift. So does Dave. He spends a lot of pages on this in Dave Scott’s Triathlon Training.
