Expert  939    Tulsa |  Subject: RE: Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Half RedmanYou get a t-shirt and a finishers shirt when you cross the finish line. The finishers shirts are technical T fabric, so that are pretty cool. A medal obviously....Umm i honestly can't remember the rest of the stuff. Oh i think some sort of bag. |

Veteran 266 Jackson, MS | Subject: RE: Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Half Redman Yes, i am going crazy..... i did a S/B/R today and it was sunny and 70º .. i wanted to bike a lot more but had to cut it off. I did my first open water swim today (1200y) as well that was not involved with a race haha. I'm really glad i did because it is a different feel. BIB# 1236 -andrew |

Veteran 266 Jackson, MS | Subject: RE: Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Half Redman I feel like i need to be doing more this week....do you guys think i'm doing enough for taper/ to keep legs going etc? it might be that i cut out weightlifting this week as well.... F- 2600y swim / 6.4m run S- rest/study Sun- 1:15m on trainer pretty hard M-test day was tired from not sleep 15m abs/pushups T- sbr - 1200y swim /14.5m bike/2m run in race apparell and open water. W- I will probably run 4 Th- Swimming with wetsuit (1st time over 10minutes haha) ... at least 1000y F- run 1.5m and stretch really good. Any thoughts? what else did people do for taper? i guess i'm just wondering what to do today wednesday... b/c i was going to bike again like 15-20... but i cleaned my bike inside and out and don't want to get it dirty really (and i have a lot of school work to do so a run fits better) (4hr/5hr/5:30hr of sleep last 3 days doesn't help) -andrew |

| Extreme Veteran 454 OKC | Subject: RE: Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Half Redman Looks like you're on the right track. I keep the same sessions for my taper, but cut the volume by about half for 3-5 days. So tomorrow I usually run 20 x 1'(1'), for taper I'd cut it to 10 x 1'(1'), same pace. I'm under the weather right now though, so I'm not doing anything.  remember: form = fitness + freshness It's too late to increase the fitness component, but you could easily mess up the freshness part of it. |

| New user 6 | Subject: RE: Oklahoma City Redman Triathlon - Half Redman I'll report on my experience... It was truly awesome. This was my first half iron distance, and I loved it! Based on my training and HR zones, I was planning on trying to come in around 6:24. I wrote down all my estimated splits for my wife so she would know when to look for me. Well, things went better than I anticipated and I came in at 5:52, more than 30 min faster than I had hoped! I was so far ahead of schedule that my wife missed me at the finish line. Anyway, I felt strong through the entire event except maybe the last 2 or 3 miles. A big thank you to all the organizers and volunteers of this event. It was really well done! How did everyone else do? TT |
