Subject: Race Day Question: Bike Warm-Up? Just curious to hear what everyone does, on race day, to warm up for the bike. I've got my first sprint tri coming up in October, with a bike portion of about 9 or 10 miles. My problem is that I don't usually get really warmed up until I've ridden that far. I don't want to ride a full 10 miles just to get warmed up, and I was wondering two things: 1. Knowing there will be differing opinions ... In addition to stretching and a short pre-race ride, will the swim help at all at getting warm for the bike, and; 2. Any tips for getting warm before a race without riding 10 miles? Thanks! |
