Lincoln dominated these multi-disciplinary events such that after the second event the challenger would hurl bricks at lincoln so as to slow his progress and maybe have a chance.
However odd that seemed, the term for the transition from the second to third event was hence known as bricking. As this is what the challenger would have to be most proficient at, hurling bricks. The name was later simplified to doing a "brick" and has been brought into training. Some of these explanations are hilarious! The real story is actually a Pink Floyd reference and involves the old exec of usa triathlon then tri-fed Mark Sisson and a pro triathlete Scott Zagarino, who I had the fortune or misfortune I guess of meeting and being stitched up next to when I raced the first worlds in Avignon in '89 as a 15 yr old kid.
I read the story in a magazine many, many years ago. You can read Scott's take on it here. Here's a reference of it from circa and the old rec. Pre mainstream internet references are hard to search for. The reference from Scott Zagarino is very interesting, indeed. Thanks for finding those! Cuz it's "just another brick in the wall" of training. Nope, it's because it feels like your tri shorts are full of bricks.
But then they start to fall out. That's way it feels better after a mile or two. On race day, you want your transitions to be seamless and short, so practising at home is a great way to get used to this. When doing a bike to run brick workout at home, have your running kit ready to go for when you get back from your bike ride, just like you would on race day. If you are going to practice a swim to bike brick, you could easily cycle to the swimming pool and then cycle back afterwards.
Brick workouts have many benefits, not only for race day but also for your conditioning and general fitness. Doing two different disciplines back to back keeps things fresh and will really crank up the calorie burn. You will be able to do a longer session without it feeling boring as you won't just be pounding the pavements for 2 hours, you will be changing from one sport to another. Another benefit of brick workouts is that it will be more of a full body workout and therefore condition your body better.
If you go from swimming to cycling, you will be working your upper body hard in the pool and your lower body hard on the bike, therefore getting a more all-round workout and improving your tone all over. Apart from that, brick workouts are extremely important for multi-sport events.
You will need to get your body used to being under stress for a long period of time and to be able to keep your technique sound when fatigued. Running off the bike is a strange feeling and you need to be able to do it without thinking too hard. Post 7 of 20 views. B ike, R un, ICK! DC Pattie. Post 8 of 20 views. Sorry, I had to try.
