Extreme Veteran 597 NE Ohio | Subject: RE: Rev3 Cedar Point Preview Day hosted by Cleveland Tri Club anyone planning on going down to this? I recommend it if your doing the race (or even if you're not and maybe plan on it next year or so). I went to the one two weeks ago and going down for this. It's a structured training/race prep day. |

Veteran 149 Northeast Ohio | Subject: RE: Rev3 Cedar Point Preview Day hosted by Cleveland Tri Club I went to the first preview day and it was a great experience. If I didn't have a Tri the next day I would definitely be going for the second preview day. |

Are you doing the swim clinic too? I'm really not sure what to wear tomorrow, because it's supposed to be cold. I was thinking of just wearing a 2 piece tri kit. I have never done a group ride (outside of races), so I have some anxiety about this preview day. I need to know what I'm dealing with as far as the course goes, so that outweighs my silly anxieties. |

I am going to do a free swim around there though. The clinic is in a group and everyone else that wants to swim on there own goes a little further out and there will most likely be bouies out there to swim to and from, and other people, so that's what i am doing. Clinic has some racing tips specific to the race...check when you get there, you may want to do it My 2 cents on the ride: Weather does look a little cool i saw. I was going to wear a tri top as well to ride in it a bit, but probably going to do just do a jersey with a shirt under actually and arm sleeves. i dunno. gtd |

You helped make me feel better about tomorrow. I'll probably try the clinic just to hear what they have to say. Swimming is my strength, but I could use some help with sighting. I'll be riding in the B group, too (I wish I were in the A group ). I'm in for 1 loop, as I'm racing the Half Rev and not the Full. I'm just going to wear the 2 piece suit and take my arm warmers. I'm a big baby when it comes to cold air and the bike! How has the training for the full been different from the training for the half for you? I really want to try the full next summer, but I have 4 young children, and I really need to wait until my 2 year old (the youngest) is in preschool every day. I've been averaging about 13 hours a week - sometimes 12 and other times 15) - and that's about the max I can do right now. |

I've been averaging about 13 hours a week - sometimes 12 and other times 15) - and that's about the max I can do right now. i'll preface this by saying everyone is different. I have 2 little kids (almost 5 and almost 3). The thing that really just sticks out is the general length of time for the long sessions. Being gone for 5-6 hours at a time is tough. My wife is more than supportive on because she knows its finite. The long rides just take a lot of time on Saturday/Sunday. Having to find time for a 2 1/2 - 3 hour run is a little bit tougher also..i do those at night generally. And then the accumulation of the other sessions jsut gets tiring. last year i think i maxed at 11 hours 3 weeks prior to the race, but was generally at 8-9 the whole season going up to the HIM. I had no real plans to an IM this year prior to the Rev last year. I thought i would use it as a measuring stick to see where i was. I had a goal of 6 hours. Ended up at 5:25 and did not kill myself by any stretch and had a gret time. SO much so that i decided to move on to the IM this year, so that's how that worked. the only thing i wanted to do was really up the distance on my running for this season. This year, i was 8-10 early on and then have weeks of 13, 15, 14, 18 and 15. Got sick in one 13 hour scheduled week that turned into 6 or would have one more up there. You are prepared for the HIM. You put in much more work than i did. From my perspective, and everyone is different again, you don't need to find much more room next year to do this if you want. It really comes down to an added 2-3 hours for the long bike and 1 hour or so for the long run, especially in the last build phase. the hours there, at least for the BT plan i mostly used, was 13,15,17,18 for the peak build. Some people do it on more i know, but some do it on less. |

Subject: RE: Rev3 Cedar Point Preview Day hosted by Cleveland Tri Club Did anyone who went to this, go on Cedar Point Road(part of the bike course)? I drove on it today and it made me nervous, because it's pretty rough. Will they do anything to fix it before the race? |

I'm sure you'll do well at the full distance, too. Thank you for all of the feedback. I asked my coach how much more training it would take to go the full distance, and she said the weekly stuff would be more of the same, but the weekend sessions would get longer (much like you said). I think I may set 2014 as my IM year and try Louisville or something. We'll see. This sport is addictive, that's for sure. I'm going to nail down the HIM distance first - signing up for Eagleman 70.3 and Half Rev Cedar Point again next summer. I was at the preview, but I didn't see anyone with an adidas visor. My car broke down so I showed up late and wasn't able to chat at all. I liked the bike course! Can't wait until race day. Jen |

That water was rough, but i was actually glad it was like that for practice. I felt pretty good. The bike course was good. That 13 mile stretch out of Milan is supposed to have a tailwind, but it hasn't the last 2 times. Glad you were able to get there and practice. That will be helpful of where to let loose and when to hang back a bit (like on those false flats).

I stopped at the McDonald's right off the Rye Beach exit to use the restroom and when I got back into my husband's car, it wouldn't start. I think I locked the steering wheel or something. Called my husband and he told me to ride my bike to Sawmill Creek and he'd be there to help me get it started after the ride. Strapped on my transition bag and rode down to Sawmill (it was right around the corner). I asked someone for a ride down to the Marina and asked for a second ride back to my bike. LOL My husband showed up just as I rolled in on the bike, and he got it started quickly. Felt like a complete fool. The worst part was having nowhere to home base. Everyone else got to put their stuff in their cars. I left my bag out on the grass. Anyway, I am so glad I did the preview. I'm going to join the CTC and start going to some of their events. I thought it was great that they hosted this for us! |
