February 2, Wednesday, 6pm PST/9pm EST: Brenton Ford.
Hello, my name is Brenton Ford from Effective Swimming. I’m based in Melbourne, Australia and have been involved with swimming for over 17 years. It has only been the last 3 years that I have been serious about teaching people the skill of swimming fast. Since then I have coached the Melbourne University swim team and at present I’m coaching one of Australia’s most recognised Master’s swimming clubs. In 2008 I began running technique workshops for the swimmers I coached. The feedback and results from the workshops was so great that I was asked to put together a program which I could give to my swimmers so they could work on their technique without me being there. During the interview with Ben and Kerry, I’ll be talking about this program and answering your triathlon swim questions!

Triathlon Travel Part 4: What To Pack With Your Bike.
In this video, Ben Greenfield shows you what to pack along with your bike when you’re traveling on an airplane to a triathlon. In the next video of this series, Ben will show you how to actually tear down and build up your bike for travel.
The bike case used in this video is by RusterSports
RusterSports – RusterSports, owned by pro triathlete TJ Tollakson, produces a bike carrying case called the Hen House that allows your bike to fly with you, checked as regular luggage! So rather than paying $100-$150 each way to take your bike to the race, your bike flies at a fraction of the cost. TJ has clear videos that show you exactly how to pack your bike, so there’s no guesswork, and pure protection for your valuable equipment. Rock Star Triathlete Academy members can use the code at the end of this post to get free shipping to anywhere in the US!
They’re flying off the shelves (no pun intended) since they pay for themselves with just 2 trips, so if it shows out of stock, TJ said to just e-mail him with the form on the website and he’ll hook you up. Read for the free code? Just keep reading…

Ben Needs Your Help.
Your Friendly Tech Guy.
Dear Members,
I realize the forum has been having some issues lately.
So here’s the deal – I skipped basically ALL my training in the last 72 hours to fix it for you. And the results are good. We have a brand new forum with a brand new platform. I’ve busted my ass to find a solution that will actually work, and provide you with a vibrant forum platform that integrates with your Rock Star membership.
Over the next few days, I will be transferring the old forum posts into the new forum, but in the meantime, I need your help: PLEASE click here to go the forum and leave ONE NEW POST in whichever category you desire.
Thanks, it will really help get the discussion flowing. Let me know if you have any technical difficulties.
I really need to go for a swim now. Ciao.
Ben Greenfield
