Subject: RE: Training in trisuit First things first...remember the rule of 3. Don't use anything in a race you haven't used at least 3 times during training. Priority #1 is feeling comfortable in what going to affect you the longest during the race. That's the Trisuit. I wear mine about once a week for my "long" workout the month before the race. Generally those are brick workouts or on any long ride followed by a short run (this should be EVERY bike ride) #2 Priority is getting use to those clipless pedals. Keep your bike on the trainer and watch TV just spinning. This will get you use to haveing them on your feet. I even practice getting them on while riding this way. It's fun if you incorporate commerical breaks like that. When a commercial comes on, you run to where your bike is on the trainer, with the shoes clipped in, and practice getting your feet in while "riding". Then you make it back to the TV after 1 min of riding adn watch your show. Just an idea. Since it's your first race, don't worry too much about the transitions. Being comfortable on your bike and in your suit will gain you more time than forgetting to wash your feet off. Just my Humble opinions. |
