Subject: RE: First Tri tomorrow - rain predicted I`ve done only 2 tri`s and both have been in terribly wet weather, but warm so it made up for it.
Don`t miss the brief at the start of the race, someone should call all the athelets over to explain the course and things to be carefull of. They will probably warn you to take the turns easy, which you should do. Your road bike will do fine, I was told (in this site ) that if you go through a puddle to keep your feet at 3 and 9. Glad I knew that because the first puddle I went through in my 2nd race the puddle (more like a mini lake ) turned out to be 6" deep. I also noticed that alot of people ditched their shades, I guess unless you have windsheld wipers they could get in the way.
Good luck and we look forward in seeing the report. PS, just because it`s raining doesn`t mean you`re not sweating....keep up the fluids on the bike as normal. |
