Subject: RE: First Olympic Triathlon tomorrow, Any Advice? I was very nervous about the swim before my first oly (and I've most certainly never swam for 1 hour in a pool without stopping! ). That bouy was a LOOOONG ways from shore... Once I got swimming, it was a non issue. The adrenaline, the excitement, the other people around, the swim was over before I knew it. Bike was fine too, and the run was awesome for the first three miles... Miles 5&6 were rough, but by then you're almost done so it's not too hard to pull out a little extra something for the finish. My only advice is have fun, but really push. Don't settle in and relax, you will regret it later. |
