This weekend it will be the third year when the concept is practiced that competitors can test their preparedness before the finishing touches – exactly 4 weeks before the Nagyatád ExtremeMan– under the organization of Péter Attila. Organizers selected an emblematic location for the weekend competition, the site of the 1994 Youth and Junior European Championship, i.e. the breath-taking Deseda Lake in Kaposvár, which guarantees that all participants have a great time.

The mission of the event is not to announce a winner but something much more important. All win who try themselves before the Nagyatád ExtremeMan competition (3,8km swimming – 180 km cycling – 42.2km running) as they get a clear picture where they stand in the preparation. At the ExtremeMan Kaposvár competition held on Sunday, participants cover half of the total distance, 113km (1,9km swimming – 90km cycling-21 km running).
 
Everyone can test their gear, experience the feeling of excitement before the start and the most valuable asset, build their refreshing strategy in competition-simulating environment.

The advice usually goes like: Never try anything during the race!
OK, but if not then, when? Competition is competition, training is “just” training. Our body works differently under stress than in an average afternoon. Just like you do not usually go cycling with hundreds of your companions. You need the real situations, through which you can test the real challenges. Kindl Gábor long-distance triathlonists often mentions:

Completing the ironman depends mainly on two things – right choice of pace and refreshing.

Choice of pace is supposed to be simple in theory, as your trainer will tell you which pulse range is required for optimal proceeding. But if your competitor overtakes while cycling, will you be disciplined enough to stick to the precautions regarding pace? Refreshing is a separate field of study, still, it can be learned, practiced. Proper nutrient intake, fluid replacement and cooling are defining concerning your performance.

Come join us in Kaposvár and improve your refreshing strategy! This will determine whether you finish the race of your life happily or struggling.
