Master  6834      Englewood, Florida |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSEDAsalzwed - 2013-03-01 12:51 PM I am doing a race simulation tomorrow AM. Our coach wants me to do a warm-up then 11 miles at marathon pace + 1 minute then run to the track where I will be doing 2 x 2 miles @ marathon pace drinking exactly what is on course only every mile. It should be good. Then I have a HM next weekend so, some serious simulation before I leave for Texas. How did you get 5 hours of snowboarding in the other day, extra vacation day???? |

I had Wednesday and Thursday off. I should say, I took them off. I was originally supposed to do a PowerBar event but they got cancelled so I kept the days just to get stuff done. Plus I had to work on my portfolio a little bit since my interviews are on Monday. Edited by Asalzwed 2013-03-01 11:55 AM |

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for allowing me to 'ride' with you, Yanti. Well, you are technically swimming right now as I type this, so glub glub glub glub glub. I'm beyond honored to be part of the bike segment and will be praying for you and thinking of you and stalking you through it all! Go get 'em, girl!! Stay safe. ps. sorry for being MIA from pod discussions for most of the week, it's been a bit crazy. | ||||||||

I'm not really scared about not finishing but I have a feeling it will be a crap time unless I can finally shed this chest cold. You'll do fine. My tips are: line up appropriately at the start, drink when they offer it, bring a gel to have at the halfway point. If the race is local, ride your bike on the course a week or two beforehand (yes, this weekend!) for familiarization.
Thanks, I only taken gels when I've biked because I was scared of how they would react with me running but I suppose I should try a couple out before the actual race. Bike the course before the race?! You realize that I am in Minnesota right? Do they not sell winter riding gear in MN? |

I went to a "kickoff party" last night for one of the local sprint races. Instead of doing an online signup they just have a "party" at the local LBS and they bring in vendors etc. It was good. I signed up for the race. I got to meet a local pastor-7-time-Ironman-finisher. And I got to say hi to Coach Andie, she said they miss me at swim squad and asked about Oceanside. Then I went downstairs to the bike part of the store where I registered to win a free bike fit (when I left there were only 4 people registered) and FINALLY found a container of PowerBar Perform. I tried the Perform this morning at swim and it is salty! Not good like our own Salty but bad salty like take a gatorade and add a cup of salt. I guess I can get used to it, like the nose plug. Oh, and I ordered a Baracuda HotHead swim cap, hopefully I'll get that next week. 4 weeks and counting Why the nose plug if you haven't needed one in the past? |

I don't ever bike the course and it's worked out so far. I WOULD be sure to try ANY/EVERYTHING you plan to do at the race beforehand. It's terrible idea to try something for the first time on race day, especially nutrition related things. |

It's terrible idea to try something for the first time on race day, especially nutrition related things. The point was to become familiar with the course. That can increase your comfort level. If the race is local, an easy bike of the course gives a good sense it -- probably a better sense of driving the course or just looking at it on paper. And definitely what you said -- nothing new on race day! To which many a porta potty can attest. |
