Recent Oly (OA/AG)

Race 11/2
S 10/2
B 12/2
R 18/3

Recent sprint

Race 12/2  out of 779/55
S 13/3
B 13/4
R 43/4

Recent HIM seemed to calc by your place when you finished the leg (WTF WTC?) rather than the actual leg placement:

Race  252/17
S  129/7
B  242/18
R  252/17  Note that this is the same as my OA, BUT no one ahead ran slower and some 15 behind me ran faster, so it's at least more like 252 (or worse)/30 or so.

So, my run is my worst, although it's waaaaay closer than last year.  So odd, as I only started s/b last year and had to do a winter run focus to pull even close with the run!  More run and bike this off season...

My last sprint I was balanced in my AG, but not so much overall:

AG:

Swim - 1/16

Bike - 1/16

Run - 2/16

Overall:

Swim - 7/186

Bike - 3/186

Run - 9 /186

 

3rd overall finish 

It's all about the bike!

I'm terribly unbalanced.

Swim: mediocre if wetsuit-legal, crap-tastic if no wetsuit
Bike: I'm even unbalanced within the one event -- I never get passed going uphill, but everybody passes me going downhill
Run: good, but consistently late to the party

Actually, the swim isn't my weakest event. I generally do a little worse on T1, as I was never very good at getting my kit off. And then I struggle to find my glasses. There's a good reason why I have targeted low-skill sports.

I used to focus on my weaknesses, but now I focus on what I enjoy. And celebrate the weaknesses. As an MOP swimmer I get to experience pack swimming in way that many of the fast swimmers will rarely enjoy.

Because for everyone out there, crossing the finish line is more about life than the race itself.

You will need to practice a couple of things to get those hips to the surface of the water, where they should be. The two drills involve head position and balance.

With a hectic schedule and the desire to throw in other forms of exercise, I went from following one of the training programs to doing my own. Would it be better to follow a training plan?

I am training for my first IM and lately I have been getting cramps in my calves. I am a heavy salt sweater and I was wondering if that has anything to do with it?

Your programme was a great help in getting my training organised and balanced. Your web site has been a great help.
