Subject: RE: Chesapeakeman Ultra Distance Triathlon : Official ThreadI am staying 30 minutes out in DE, I waited too long to try and book a room closer. Me and family will be getting in on Friday early afternoon. My first ultra as well, my goal range is 12 - 15 hours, even with the leg. Without the leg injury I had a reach goal of 11 hours. I did Mooseman and Timberman. Mooseman was first half ever, not nearly enough trianing finished in 5:55, last year did the Timberman - had the same leg injury due to raising mileage in bike n run too fast, finished in 5:50. Both races are awesome and I recommend them to everyone I know. I hate tapering, always have. This year I do not think I built enough to have a good taper, but I have cut down everything. Had my last outside ride today, felt real good, forced myself to stay under 20mph for total ride, ended up with a 18mph average. Stratman, I will be one of the guys without a wetsuit. I am going to pack my stuff tomorrow - nutrition supplies, body glide, glasses, socks & sneakers - running gear, etc. |
