Race official significantly changed the swim course this year... much shorter. DThey didn't do a great job of explaining the peculiararites of the differences, but we pretty much figured it out. With a shorter swim, there was a lot more crowding/contact.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really... I don't feel extremely motivated to swim a lot faster.
Transition 1
  • 01m 32s
Comments:

Pretty good T1! Maybe rubberbanding my shoes might have shaved another 10 sec.
What would you do differently?:

Prepping shoes, but otherwise good.

Comments:

Going up was slower than I wanted, but I still did well. After rounding the corner up top, I came up to speed fast (which reinforces the head wind). Rode down fast and passed many others in front of me.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 2

Comments:

Shoes got a bit stuck going on... otherwise good T2
Run
  • 26m 16s
  • 3.21 miles

Comments:

I was so tired! This is a pretty disappointing run time... I was really hoping for a minute faster.

Note: I measured the run on Map my ride and found that it was 3.21 miles long... my run split wasn't as bad as I thought!
What would you do differently?:

More speed work... I definately had more running in this year.

Event comments:

The new organization putting this together needs a little guidance and help to make this a top notch race. Their obvious scrambling at the start of the race was a sign of a lack of preparation. Keeping everyone around for an hour and a half to announce results that were being readily supplied by a digital timing company seems like a waste of the technology available. The run course was 'odd' with stairs in th first mile of the 5k and more volunteers on the bike would have been safer and less confusing.

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.

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?
