Subject: Today - First post & First TRI Been lurking for a while getting reviews & advice...thank you to all for both. I figured I'd wait to have actually survived an event before posting ( Completed my first event this morning (sprint in Clermont FL) and am registered for 2 olympic events in the next 60 days. I have a road cycling background, no racing but plenty of endurance events. I started training for TRI on the urging of some friends. The swim (62 degrees) nearly killed me even though I had a wetsuit. I had plenty of time/distance in a heated pool which as you know (and now I do too) is no prep for group swim in open water. The bike was strong, definitely my best event. Run was solid, a better time that I usually run 5K. I guess now I know what to focus on in training. Looking forward to the benefit of more collective wisdom in the future, thanks again. |
