Hormones
Older, female athletes don't need to take more hormones, but watching what you eat, taking care of your bodies and resting is all you need. Eat organically and avoid preservatives.
Testosterone
For male athletes, when you feel like your testosterone levels are low, stop training and get some rest.
Faster Transitions
Set up a mock transition area and go through onto the bike, into the shoes and into the run like 100x. Do it in steps -- pedal first, get one foot in the shoe, pedal again, then put in your other shoe. Make sure you have extra food and gear -- it's better to have more than to misplace or lose what you need.
What age do you consider mature
After 35-40, you start to feel the changes and possible niggles that you need to be on the lookout for. But you want to be aware of what you say to yourself -- if you're hard on yourself, that's what you're gonna get.
What is the safest way on hill training
Find a rolling hills run for an easy run. Then focus on proper uphill/downhill running form. Be sure that if you have tight calves, do not do speed work. Otherwise, you might get injured.
How to handle a panic attack in the water
Ask yourself with the truth is -- are you going to die? No. Are you going to drown? No. Don't tell yourself you're having a panic attack. Take it easy and focus on what you want to feel. Lie on your back and just breathe.
