Pro  4100   Wherever the trail takes me, WA. |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closedSSMinnow - 2011-07-08 10:21 AM swbkrun - 2011-07-08 10:12 AM TrevorC - 2011-07-07 8:19 PM Hey all.....I'm pulling a "Trevor" - no RR from weekend. In a nutshell, had a good swim, good bike, and 1st 5k of run. I noticed on the bike that my stomach started tightening, but didn't think too much of it. Once I hit about 5k, i couldn't really pull in calories. As i slowed down my speed, I had figured my HR would drop. But it didn't. I think that I didnt mix my Infinit with enough water and it was too strong....Or at least i think. So I ended up 12 minutes slower than last year, in very similar conditions. It sucks because that was my tune-up race before the big one, and I was going to use it as a practice session. Been busy. Let someone go at work. Looking at another job possibility. Oh and training. Glad my IMC partner is still with me here. I'm stating to feel what John was telling me a few months ago. 7 weeks out from the race, and it feels like I have 4000 balls in the air. Lots of juggling. We actually hit the mid 80's here today. First real long run in 'heat.' I went for a 2 hr run after work. With my 4 bottle fuel belt. I weighed myself when i got home and had lost 6lbs!! I didn't feel dehydrated or anything like that. That blew me away.
Tune up for the big one is right.... Doesn't matter how you did vs. last year. Different types of training this year going for the "longer/slower" workouts vs. some more higher intensity stuff. Things didn't go your way, but you learned from your "mistakes." This was race was probably more valuable than you think. I wouldn't be concerned!!! I have to agree with Birdy on this one. One of the things I learned last year, is if you're stomach is starting to rebel on the bike it's time to slow down and get your HR DOWN so your digestive system can get back on track. Once you feel better you can go back to your normal plan. You might have a slower bike split, but so what....you won't be walking the run wishing you could find a bathroom. I don't know anything about your formula, but I did learn that my SE/Gel concentrate was too concentrated for my gut to handle easily. I tweaked my SE/Gel formula and am intaking more water and so far, so good. It's all trial and error and that's what they long rides and races are for....power on!
We have come a LONG WAY!!!! |

I did that today. I didn't feel too bad after. But I have a higher starting point than you.... |

Champion 6973 marietta | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed you should probably buy a power tap and some race wheels. perhaps even an aero helmet. oh... and get a tri bike because the geometry of your road bike sucks. you know, your frontal area and all that.
wait for it.... wait for it......

I sat down! I didn't want any more embarrassing videos floating around! And no wetsuits.
Thanks everyone for the support and well wishes! I am super happy with my race - I beat my secret stretch goal by 15 minutes! It is a very fast course, I had good luck, and I had learned from my mistakes at Knoxville. More later in my RR - I will try not to George it (sorry George) - the kids get home tomorrow so I will write it tonight, unless I fall asleep! | ||||

Veteran 200 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed Does anyone else have a set pre race routine or tradition? Something that they always do before the race? Even though I am new to the sport and racing I realized I get into my "Zone" by wearing my WhiteSox hat (I am a Mets fan) and listening to music in my huge headphones and I plan on doing the same thing for every race. |

Elite 3072 san francisco | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed dalessit - 2011-07-10 5:42 AM No real answer to your question other than to make sure by the next day you are close to starting weight and that rHR is close to normal, too, otherwise keep resting and hydrating. Stay cool!SSMinnow - 2011-07-09 11:16 PM AWESOME JULIA!! Tony, depends on how much you weigh.... I went from 158 - 153 |

I don't really do anything specific, but I probably should, though these days my pre-race routine is getting to the race site 5 minutes before the race starts and running around trying to get everything ready. |

Ha ha, I'm the opposite. I like to be one of the first to arrive so I can get a good parking place, set up in transition without rushing, and then sit back to relax and enjoy the race scene. If I'm parked close enough I'll sit in my car and listen to music. I love that pre-race time. |
