Extreme Veteran  555   Carrollton, TX |  Subject: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official ThreadI didn't see a thread created yet, so I thought I'd start one. Anyone else in for 2013? A little less than 3-1/2 months to go! |

You still have plenty of time to log in some serious bike miles. |

Expert 1644 Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread Just got done making hotel reservations. If anybody is looking for a nice hotel for a good price I would recommend staying at the Country Inn and Suites. Stayed there last year during Redman and was very pleased. |

Extreme Veteran 555 Carrollton, TX | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread How's everyone's training going? I'm starting to ramp up my cycling significantly for the next 5 weeks until taper begins. This Sat I'm doing my first century (I've done 4 80+ rides so far) of the training season. |

Regular 107 Yukon | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread I am doing the 70.3 again not the full distance. Until I go sub 4:50 I am not going to sign up for a full distance race. Great organized race, great volunteers, and plenty of aide stations. Only negative is a ride the coarse or parts of it I ride all the time, and it gets rather boring. Also spend lots of time doing laps around the the run coarse. I like races where I have no clue what to expect. |

Training is going pretty well. Dealing with some minor running injuries but what is new. How did the century go? Did you ride it at race pace and work on your nutrition? |

Pro 5761 Bartlett, TN | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread this is my first 140.6 and I am gaining more confidence with every long ride I do. My biggest worry is the bike for some reason! |

Sorry to hear you're dealing with some running injuries! Hope they heal up quick. First century went REALLY well. Was under race pace but the course I rode is significantly more hilly than Redman, so I'm not too worried about it. Nutrition and hydration were both spot on. |

Pro 5761 Bartlett, TN | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread My last long workouts were this weekend and I have started my taper.
Already thinking "should I try to get in one more long run?"
going to be a long 18 days! |

Expert 1644 Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread Last long ride yesterday. Started taper this morning with 5.5mile run. That will be my longest run until race day. |

Extreme Veteran 555 Carrollton, TX | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread Interesting that you posted this. I bonked on my last long run, which was supposed to be 18 on Labor Day. I only got in 7. My plan called for 10 tonight - do you think I should do the 10 or cut it back to 7 or so given that last week's long run wasn't actually very long? At this point, the hay's in the barn, but I'm a bit nervous about going into race day having my last actual long run being 4 weeks out. Thoughts? |

At this point, the hay's in the barn, but I'm a bit nervous about going into race day having my last actual long run being 4 weeks out. Thoughts? I personally do not subscribe to a long taper. I will continue with pretty normal training regimen until the week of the race. I would stick with whatever plan you have chosen to go with and stick with it though. I plan on getting 8-11 hours in this week with a couple of higher intensities early in the week. Next week I will do something almost everyday including day before race. I just won't be out killing myself or doing intervals. |

At this point, the hay's in the barn, but I'm a bit nervous about going into race day having my last actual long run being 4 weeks out. Thoughts? I would listen to your body. I would plan on doing 10 but if things aren't feeling good I would end the run. All your really doing now is keeping fitness and keeping your body sharp. Like you said the hay is in the barn your not going to make any fitness gains in the next 12 days. But turning a 10 miler into a slog fest could potentially end up in injury or be a a huge blow mentally. |

Expert 1644 Oklahoma | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread Keri how are you feeling? Is your saddle sore any better? Are you going to be able to race at Redman? |

Extreme Veteran 555 Carrollton, TX | Subject: RE: Redman Full Distance Triathlon : Official Thread Thanks very much, EKH and Morpheus! I will attempt the 10 as planned! It's funny - if it hadn't been for the crappy run last weekend, I wouldn't even be questioning this one, but I'm so paranoid about going into raceday overtrained and sluggish that I keep questioning everything. It's all mental! |
