just some light stretching, music, and try to stay relaxed.

Comments:

i changed my stroke about two weeks before. much slower stroke but did not hurt my time all that bad for me. felt relaxed and came out of the water fresh and ready to tackle the transition and the bike rather than be gasping for air and feeling dizzy.

there were very little competitors and i started the swim second to last so by the time i got on the bike not having done this race before i was a little lost. course was well marked but being alone and quite a few turns i didn't want to make a wrong one.
What would you do differently?:

hill work
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

i used spin bike pedals with the straps for this race so in t1 i put on my running shoes instead of my cycling shoes so in t2 i was on top of the straps running dismount racked my bike, helmet off visor on and i was running. since t1 and t2 were included in the bike time it felt 20-25 seconds. the pedals really payed off. t2 is usually close to 3 minutes for me.

nothing

Event comments:

Good job! I enjoyed your race report. Sounds like it was really fun. I was unaware of this tri until now; I'll have to add it for next year!

At mile ten I heard a noise like I had gotten paper in my spokes or something. I looked but saw nothing but a few seconds later my rear tire blows out.

Are these races too close together to give me any sort of recovery? Will I be spent and unhappy racing back to back weekends and then again two weeks after that?

When I told my husband that I planned to work toward completing a sprint triathlon, he smiled and was supportive, but a bit disbelieving.

The challenge? The accomplishment? I want to do this because it is an opportunity to live life. The event is an indoor sprint triathlon. I get to experience the challenge on a safer scale.

This plan is designed to make you go faster. 3 workouts per week in each sport, 2 days of strength training and core work. The maximum volume is around 10 hours toward the end of the 12 weeks.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.

Since I didn't have much time and since it's a super sprint, am I OK just go to at the training relatively hard through Thursday or even Friday?
