Subject: Super-slow run in a tri race compared to stand-alone running raceI had very unsatisfying runs during a recent Sprint and Oly tri races. The pace was 8:16 (Sprint, 3mile ) and 9:30 (Oly, 10K ), compared to my recent stand-alone road race pace of 7:02 and 7:25. Do these results tell you that I biked too hard? I am coming from a runnign background (although very short ) to tri and I am a bike newbie (riding consistently for 1/2yr ). I do brick workouts. I did a few 10/2/10/2 (10mile bike followed by 2m run x 2 ) before an Oly and I did a few tempo bike rides followed by a mile (hard ) run at 7:05-7:20pace. Was these bricks simply not enough or I biked too hard? Any advice will be appreciated!! |
