Winter training here in the UK can be pretty miserable. Dark nights, dark mornings and totally unpredictable weather – snow one minute, gales the next and then, just as you arrive home after a long bike, the sun comes out!
Keeping warm during a training session, particularly on the bike, at this time of year can be quite tricky. Of course, having the correct clothing on – a windproof jacket, skull cap/beanie under your helmet and thermal bib tights are a must – but for many triathletes, keeping your hands and feet warm is more difficult.
