Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED I have to do my race report yet, but my HIM went sideways and I turned in a 7:06:18 I was disappointed in my results, but considering I was considering dropping out before I reached the first buoy I'm glad I was able to finish the race. I am happy with my 2:14 Half marathon run. I will post the report later, but here is the story. Tuesday before the race I was going for a swim. When I zipped up my wet suit the zipper came off. Two of the teeth on the zipper broke. I was able to zip it up the the last 4" of the wet suit. I was able to swim in it, so I figured I was good to go, I just wanted to make sure I couldn't over zip it and pull the zipper off. Friday night the water was 69 deg, so that is no problem. Overnight the water temp dropped to 55 deg. I can swim in 50 deg water, so I figured this is ok. The race started and my wet suit filled with water through the 4" hole. I was hypothermic before I reached the first buoy. I started breathing fast, then started vomiting. That was a first for my, vomiting while swimming. I called over the lifeguard and went on her paddle board and contemplated calling it a day. I warmed up, then got mad at myself. I decided to finish the swim. Getting out of the water, I was still cold and was struggling in T1. I took 9:29 in T1, my slowest transition ever. I started the ride, but I was still lethargic, but we had a 15 mph wind coming out of the North. I did not feel normal on the bike until the half way point. My bike was extremely slow. T2 was also slow and bad. I did accomplish, for the first time ever, peeing on the bike (its the little victories). Race report tomorrow. |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Sounds like a rough race but you persevered and finished. You also beat my one and only 70.3 time by a few minutes so there is that too  Looks like a zipper repair or new wetsuit is in your future. |

I am really impressed that you got back into the race after throwing up. I would have definitely bailed out of the swim. I will second Mitch's recommendation on DeSoto. I have been using one of their wetsuits for going on 6 years now. |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Adding in today's runch 39:33. The first one after a big effort is always the worst. Thanks guys. I am shopping (on line) tonight. I have about two more weeks I can swim, if I can get a wet suit. I might try my daughter's, I'm not sure it will fit, she's 5"11" mostly leg. I think its a a medium long.

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED 43min night mountain bike ride. I also signed up for a "triathlon swim workout" program at our local rec center. The description - "Get a head start on Triathlon season with specific swim technique improvement. This course is not a swim lesson but a chance to perfect your technique and improve your fitness level" I hope that it can put me on the right track to finally learning how to swim correctly with good form.

Expert 1109 Guatemala | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Last week I realized I was so far off in my training schedule for IM Arizona in Nov that I had almost accepted that I would not do it. Then on the weekend I watched one of those IM motivational videos that had an amputee and blind triathletes completing the race and the message "what is your excuse" and it hit me deep down, I have no excuse. So I'm taking a big dose of HTFU and will try to ramp up for the experience of IM Arizona! Adding 2000m interval swim + 50 min drainer yesterday and a 14 mile run today Dan C 13 25:23 |

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED 1hr mountain bike ride tonight. Did manage to better my one and only KOM despite nicking a tree with my wrist.

Expert 1109 Guatemala | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Dave, congrats on taking the KOM on your ride! Adding my HTFU ride yesterday of 111miles in 5:47 + 15 min brick run. I went out with two friends who have been training consistently for IM Arizona and was glad to have gone with them and push myself to the limit to finish a tough, but confidence boosting ride.

Master 3022 | Subject: RE: Consistency Equals Success - CLOSED Cycled each of the last three days. Finding my spring power has improved a lot of late. Think I attribute that to the rides I've been doing pulling my 5 1/2 year old on the tow behind with my mountain bike. Getting close to the top rankings on some Zwift Strava segments.
