Subject: RE: Doing Triathlons in a different time zoneI traveled from San Diego to Lake Placid earlier this year to do a Triathlon ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/smile.gif) I arrived on Thursday before the race and was pretty much acclimated by Saturday and had no problems waking up at 4:00AM for the race. (I had to drive 30 minutes into town for the race) I woke up early on Saturday morning to meet a bunch of BT peeps to swim 1 lap of the course and that did not seem difficult. One of the things I did that seemed to help was to book a "RedEye" flight so that I arrived at first light on Thursday. Us West Coasters usually have a tough time not because it is hard to get up early, but because we have a tough time going to sleep at a normal hour. The Redeye flight seems to trick the body and the mind somewhat. But, I used to travel a lot for business and might be more used to traveling than others. |
