Pre-race routine:

This race is local, and only 15 mins away. Had some waffles with the kids and then drove off to the race alone.

Calf still pulled from last week, but test run yesterday went ok. No sprinting but this is an endurance race. I taped it up tight with a big tensor bandage and hoped for the best.

Event warmup:

Parked on the street to avoid the 10$ parking fee, then had to walk back to the car to drop off the bag/dry clothes to avoid the 5$ bag fee. :P

Got to the line 30 seconds before gun went.
Post race
Warm down:

Watched the next wave start, got showered off, drove home. Super convenient.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running has been flat, calf injury.

Event comments:

Great quick race, but no AG/cat results, photos still haven't been released and took forever to get results up.

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!

If you haven’t done any bricks yet, this isn’t the time to start piling them on, but here are some examples you could do in the lead up to your race.

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?
