Pre-race routine:

This was an indoor tri, so not much prep. My neighbor Dee did this as her very first race, and I"m proud of her-she did great! Got up, had a cup of coffee and then a bagel on the way to LTF. My older son was at his grandparents', so it was DH, Lukas (my 11 month old) and my neighbor Dee.. we left at 7:55 and got there at 8:15, I think. Got checked in and headed in the locker room to change and get ready.
Event warmup:

We got out to the pool side about 8:35, watched the 8:40 wave take off, got body-marked and joked with the staff... When the wave got out, I hopped in the pool and did two laps to get the muscles moving and to know I still know how to do flip turns lol

Overall, good swim :) Not fast, but I was pleased with it.
Transition 1
  • 10m
Comments:

This is a fixed time tri, so we had 10 min to get changed and get to the cycling studio, it all worked out great.
Bike
  • 30m
  • 13.7 miles
  • 27.40 mile/hr
What would you do differently?:

spin harder :) I was practically not tired after the 30 minutes, so I guess the spinning classes are really paying off. I remember doing this tri 3 years ago and i was spent after the bike, and now i wasn't even winded. Could have probably gotten 15-16 miles out of the 30 min. Oh well, they will have these again in the fall, i'll see what i can do then!
Transition 2
  • 05m
Comments:

Run to the treadmill, grab some more water, quick pit stop.
What would you do differently?:

nothing :)

Good run!
What would you do differently?:

Not push when I'm tapering for a marathon, lol.

Warm down:

We went downstairs and they had bananas, oranges and bagels set out in the conf. room, along with two massage therapists. NO lines. Sweet. Got a massage, had a little food. Talked with the race director about volunteering, ended up getting one more free event shirt for myself and Dee-yeah, baby!

Event comments:

Good race, will do it again!!!

Good swim! Dee and I were in the same lane, and she walked most of it, so I stopped a couple of times to see if she was doing ok and if she wanted me to stay with her :) She said she was fine and to go on, so I would then continue.

Course: Cycing studio, they measured the distance only based on revolutions on the bike, you could do whatever you wanted to with the tension. I did an easy 3 minutes, then did one minute sprints with 1 min recovery, and in the second half, started doing 1 min sprints-30 sec recovery. Bike was fun, talked with one of the voluteers about our kids (he has a son who has my Lukas' middle name and they are only 10 days apart), our races and race nutrition. I kept asking the volunteers when the coffee and donuts were coming, they thought it was funny.. Have no idea why, I was being serious! LOL

Course: I TOLD myself I wasn't going to push it on the treadmill, with the marathon 5 days away. I did. But I didn't listen. I started out more or less ok, but then started increasing my speeds... did 2 min run/30 sec walk most of the 20 minutes. By the end, I was really pushing to get to the 2 miles and did a couple short sprints at the 7:30 pace (i think 1, 1:30 each).. i know, kind of a bad idea when I'm supposed to be tapering, but I couldn't help myself. In the end, I missed the 2 mile mark by .01, GAH!!! oh well. THere is always fall tri. Curious to see what I can do by then!

Great job.  What a surprise just peel off a tri like that.  Sounds like you had a good time.

Great job on the Tri.  Your spin speed/time was great.  You will rock that Fall tri!
