Rev3 Quassy - Half Rev - Triathlon

Swam more relaxed. HR was much lower during the entire swim, and the entire race.
Couldn't find feet for about 5 minutes, then I just swam relaxed and behind someone and conserved energy. What a cool way to race! Didn't get bothered until the younger males swam over me around the middle of the swim portion. That got my HR up a bit, but relaxed again and found a guy who was my pace.

Nothing. The goal was to save as much energy as possible to survive the run. My legs were quite sore from yesterday's Olympic triathlon race.

Took it easy todayl Didn't want to push it at all. A slow jog today let me feel llike my breathing was never too hard. Still forgot sunscreen though...

Put on sunscreen when it's 90 degrees and sunny!

still passing people but apparently none in my AG. For all the people I passed, almost as many people went by me-usually young studs with disc wheels.

Nothing. It was going as planned.

Quicker than I thought it would be.

Be younger, faster, more good looking. Happier, healthier...sorry, got distracted there...

Nothing.

Squished in my shoes for 1/2 of the race. Caused a good sized bllister on my right foot. I would never shower the entire roadway if I were a spectator trying to be nice and help cool the runners off with water--just in case someone doesn't want to get their feet wet...

Pace started at 7:19 mile 1 and ended with an 11:22 mile-enough said.

Avoid getting drenched early with 'helpful' spectators.

I was warm enough. I needed a cool down and got it in the form of an iced towel. Heaven! The ice bath was almost tolerable today. I was famished so the food tasted good, even if it wasn't good.


Heat and doing that silly Oly race yesterday.


As has been said, the Rev3 crowd do a very good job. If I were to complain, I'd say more areas to sit in the shade would not be unreasonable. It's been sunny now several times in a row.

And I'd definitely fix the parking problem at this venue. There is no need for single entrance into the park. A second entrance at the top of the hill should be made for 'event' parking like this one.
