Veteran  271   St. Paul, MN |  Subject: Two races, one day?I am doing a series of 13 running races this year, and one of them is on Monday. This upcoming race is a 10k, and is part of a Labor Day festival that also has a 5k. One option (the one I signed up for on a whim) is to run the 10k at 8am, and the 5k at 9:30, for an extra $5. |

Veteran 249 Littleton, Colorado | Subject: RE: Two races, one day? Karibu - 2010-09-02 4:57 PM Bike or swim. haha, great suggestion! Why not use the 10k as your warm up, then go swim & bike before your 5k. |

Master 2355 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Two races, one day? Take a few minutes to cool down after the race, stretch do a real easy mile jog or something and then get ready for the 5k! |

I had a great 10K, but had some problems in the 5k, sluggish, IT band barking at me, I was plenty fit for it, not sure why my 5k was so bad though, definitely keep moving, and rehydrate. It's fun, and you earn your carbs and a nap for the rest of hte day! |

Master 1770 Bedford, MA | Subject: RE: Two races, one day? In that amount of time you can easily bike the 10K course and, depending on the location, probably find somewhere to swim a couple hundred quick yards. You'll be able to practice your transitions too! Maybe even do the 5K in your wetsuit to save time. |
