Run
Comments: This would have been a great run, if I hadn't done a half century the day before. I thought it was a good idea at the time but after mile 1, I quickly found out that I was not trained for this. What would you do differently?: Either train to do both or do 'em with enough recovery to perform better. Post race
Warm down: Got my little brick, yay! What limited your ability to perform faster: half century the day before. Event comments: I only got a taste of what some of you do to train for a half IM. I can't imagine doing a 70.3 at this time. Last updated: 2011-02-13 12:00 AM

I found out about this 2/11/11, when picking up my stuff for Tour de Palm Springs. Somebody told me that I get literally a little brick for completing Tour de Palm Springs and Palm Springs 5k or half mary. Instantly, I wanted that little brick. (Side note here: Only my triathlete buddies really know that this is not a real brick. It's not back to back. The bike was 2/12 and the run 2/13.) I thought, hey, they give me a whole 12 hrs in between, too easy. Well, I was wrong.
not enough potties. waited in the cold to use the stinky porta potty.
light warm up run, walked before race started, trying to keep warm.
