Water temp 16C, air temp 8C, wetsuit mandatory. A bit too cold for me. Even with my long sleeve wetsuit and long sleeve swimsuit underneath, I was shivering all throughtout before the start. According to my watch, pace is 2:18. Offical time includes run up to transition.
What would you do differently?:

Do the Du instead

Worst bike ever! Fell 5 times just mounting bike, couldn't clip in, couldn't balance, couldn't hold a straight line. Excluding the mounting fiasco, my Garmin says speed is 22kph, slowest ever in 15+ yrs of tri-ing. Weather just too cold, too windy for my type.
Like in Vancouver, my body just shuts down under these conditions. HR relatively low, my body just didn't want to respond.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weather too cold and too windy for my body type.

Event comments:

Worst race since Vancouver Worlds, but at least I didn't get hypothermia. Weather just too cold, too windy for my type. Should have just done the du instead. Funny thing is, I didn't feel too cold like in Vancouver. I guess I'm like a cold battery, just don't work so well in cold weather. Hubby took some nice pix though.

At mile ten I heard a noise like I had gotten paper in my spokes or something. I looked but saw nothing but a few seconds later my rear tire blows out.

Are these races too close together to give me any sort of recovery? Will I be spent and unhappy racing back to back weekends and then again two weeks after that?

When I told my husband that I planned to work toward completing a sprint triathlon, he smiled and was supportive, but a bit disbelieving.

The challenge? The accomplishment? I want to do this because it is an opportunity to live life. The event is an indoor sprint triathlon. I get to experience the challenge on a safer scale.

This plan is designed to make you go faster. 3 workouts per week in each sport, 2 days of strength training and core work. The maximum volume is around 10 hours toward the end of the 12 weeks.

I was passing others who were saying, "Good job, 587" (that was my race number). People were cheering me on. These were the nicest people I have ever been around!
Sprint and Marathon Training: How to Taper?

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.

Since I didn't have much time and since it's a super sprint, am I OK just go to at the training relatively hard through Thursday or even Friday?
