\\nFinishing off you season
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Have a clear date for the end of your season, avoid the temptation to keep dragging it out.
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Allow a minimum of 2 weeks off after your last race (try to completely get away from triathlon).
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Then follow unstructured (low volume) training for a few weeks and spend time planning you next season.
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Try to take as many weekends \\u2018off\\u2019 and spend time with family & friends.
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Important not too take too much zero time.
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Off season is the best\\xa0 time to work on limiters rather than trying to find small gains in strengths.
\\n\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Great time to do some detailed technique analysis (videoing).
