Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Maybe if you werent swiping beers from coolers that would float by you would have remembered correctly. I would like to find a way to come down and cheer with my boombox. No way I could do a 70.3 1 week after my first OLY. Like I said I am down for Longhorn 10'. evondo - 2009-07-20 2:07 PM Ya know I vaguely remember Todd saying he'd like to find a way to be ready for Longhorn this year...

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Happy Tuesday everyone! I've volunteered to coach an OWS clinic in a couple weekends and was wondering if you were to attend what would you expect to be covered?

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() At least IMO, sighting is a biggie when going from the pool to open water! Not until you're in a lake/ocean do you realize how much you rely on the black line. Maybe also getting into/out of a wetsuit. evondo - 2009-07-21 8:36 AM Happy Tuesday everyone!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I do have a potion for sale, it's $5,000/bottle results will vary and full payment is required upfront with no returns accepted ![]() For the performance 'issues' there are a couple factors I think you might not be considering... For the swim today, I would totally expect you to feel like crap today and maybe even tomorrow because of that bike ride Sunday. The amount of stress and fatigue that ride put on your body shows it's ugly head a couple days down the road, not normally immediately afterward. For the different paces in the bike ride, if there truly no hill/wind/drafting differences I'd say you weren't eating/drinking often enough... do you feel you were spot on in your nutrition? If I miss taking nutrition by 15-20mins, I can notice the difference in energy level and as soon as that fuel kicks in I'm good to go.

![]() | ![]() BSLT and this ride Sunday has definitely shown me that I am all over the map with hydration and nutrition... something I used to think I had a very good grip on. I drank alot on the bike (always do) But I never had to pee for the better part of 4-4.5 hrs... so that may be an issue. Nutrition... I took in a fair amount of food, but after BSLT and KatyFL's I felt sick... like the heat was too much. Especially after the ride - standing around... felt like crap! So I am not doing something right... and I only have 16 weeks to figure this out... 16 weeks used to seem like a lot longer time than it sounds right now. Edited by Trin2bfast 2009-07-21 9:26 AM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The hotter it gets the higher your HR is which further limits the food your body will be willing to digest. This is where you need to find something you look forward to eating and is easy on the stomach, I'm not sure if you use jels and stuff but I would put those close to last on the list as 'easy'. Next long ride I'm trying out chocolate chip cookies ![]() Trin2bfast - 2009-07-21 9:22 AM BSLT and this ride Sunday has definitely shown me that I am all over the ma on hydration and nutrition... something I used to think I had a very good grip on.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Answer of course is it depends ![]() If you're a fast swimmer and comfortable with open water then front on the left/right of the pack is the best which side is determined by where the buoy is you're going to be turning around. I've never started in the front/middle, not as much clear water. Any guy < 1:45/100m or girl < 2:00/100m I'd recommend getting near the front/outside of the pack, perhaps not on the shortest distance side depends on how crowded and how comfortable they are. Anyone else how far back in the pack is based on how comfortable you are, I think everyone should get as far forward as possible and to the outside. A lot of people like waiting till the wave goes before they start, I think this is a mistake because it's just going to reduce the amount of time the wave behind will catch you. Them running you over will be much worse than the people in your wave... When I started racing I wasn't sure what to expect so I just made friends with my neighbors before the wave start and asked them how fast they were going to go. Kept moving up till I found someone to draft off of and stuck next to them for the wave start then drafted behind them once we cleared the wave. Drafting in the swim makes a huge difference in effort, also you might get lucky and the guy/girl will be doing all the sighting for you ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-07-21 9:31 AM On in water starts I would like to hear some thoughts on where the best place to start is or why you should start in a certain spot based on your training/speed.

![]() ![]() |
![]() | ![]() I may go back to pop-tarts on the bike. frosted Brown Sugar ones or Frosted Strawberry... high sugar/fat and easy to digest. I started using clif bars and gels... with fig newtons and fruit at the rest stops. On swimming... I think that is what reduced my performance at BSLT. I started to far back and to the left... too much turbulance and traffic, and had to try and go around too many swimmers...ultimately slowing my pace down. had I started more to the front, I may have even picked the pace up to where it probably should have been (given my training swims)... live and learn... Kelli moving to Tejas! I think Kelly, Nicole, and Todd should all move to Houston (okay, Austin would work too), but Houston has the best cost of living vs. recession impact in the nation... Besides we are home to the Vd's and me... what else do anyone need. :p Start our own Tri Team... the suit designers are already in place! lmao! that was some funny sheeeot! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Definitely good advice! And I agree with Todd, I think this is some good info for the group. I for one need to work on being more aggresive, and depending on the race, starting more towards the front. I have a bad habit of starting in the middle....which is going to get you in the washing machine almost every time. In hindsight after my last race, I was certainly strong enough to have started in front. For the NYC Tri I'm planning to start in front and on the outside....the farther out you go the stronger the current. evondo - 2009-07-21 10:43 AM Answer of course is it depends ![]() If you're a fast swimmer and comfortable with open water then front on the left/right of the pack is the best which side is determined by where the buoy is you're going to be turning around.
