MY boyfriend is training for Ironman Florida which is a week away. He wanted to stop having sex two weeks before the race, so we did. He feels that it "drains" him and he wants to perform his best. I don't think two weeks is necessary! Anyone out there have any advice?

Having sex during the race would cerainly slow you down. Other than that, I really don't see that stopping makes much sense. Might use up a bit of that 'taper psychosis' energy too!

You think it would "drain" the stress and anxiety away of the upcoming race, and refresh his energy.

Good for you for being supportive!

Back in the day, my hubby was a high-level speed skater. His coach told him to not have sex the day before races and maybe two days before. Said something about the pent up energy from not doing the deed would improve his times. Don't know if the theory actually worked, fwiw, but two weeks sounds excessive!

Am I the only one who sees a first-time poster with a ridiculous thread?

IMO, don't feed the troll.

Power Pellets: The USA national sculling coach 93-04 told the men: no sex day-before and day-of races. He told the women the exact opposite: go get some.

That's good. Did you threaten to post his race # so he'd be ridiculed?

Here's an MSNBC/Forbes article on it

Just tell him to marry you. The sex will stop almost instantly.
During that 2 week period where he planned to cut you off, was he planning on cleaning the pipes himself?

two weeks seems excessive. However, my personal field research has shown that the day before an event can have a detrimental affect depending on the duration, how vigorous the activity is and...ah....the nature of that activity.
