Subject: RE: Fredericton Duncan Hadley Triathlon / Duathlon : Official Threadaxteraa - 2010-06-21 11:45 AM Hey! I haven't done this race before but am looking forward to it. It will be my first Olympic distance race. You mentioned a long run from the swim to T1 on a trail - will I need some sort of footwear for that run or can it be done barefoot ?
Arend I have done it barefoot... when you walk up to the lake it is a bit hard to walk on, but out of the swim running up to T1 you dont really notice the crushed gravel path... some people wore flip flops to the swim exit and put them on as they exited the water... it depends on how sensitive you are on running barefoot to T1... I will walk to the lake and run from the swim exit to T1 barefoot again this time. |
