 Run
Comments: not my best 2.5 k ever but...it is what it is! What would you do differently?: I think I would try to jog a little before just to get the blood flowing and the HR up a little. I would also cut off my liquid intake a little sooner than I did, I was obviously "over-hydrated". It was tough to do though because it was sooooo humid I figured I should keep drinking as much as I could.  Transition 1
Comments: it seemed like i was in the transition area for a really long time, it was a long run around and into the shute then a long way to the mount/dismount area. runners came off OK, airwalks went on OK (I need to get better shoes to ride in...my spd airwalks are getting old!) What would you do differently?: nothing just keep moving as fast as I can.  Bike
Comments: I drank about 1 liter of gatorade on the bike, I also stuck to my plan of one gel as soon as I started out then one after about 1/2 hour. felt good. tried to stay in aero position as much as possible. (gut is still in the way!) after turn around I flew!! I could have pushed harder...but given how sluggish my first leg of the run felt I figured 80% effort was all I could afford! What would you do differently?: Put the hammer down on the bike then hope for the best on the last run!! Ha Ha Ha...I think just try to keep my cadence smoother. My shifting was a thing of beauty! I was very happy with that. Transition 2
Comments: transitioned well. decided not to wear my sunglasses on the 2nd run. What would you do differently?: nothing, just keep moving. I am able to jog thru my transitions now. at the start of the season I COULDN'T! Run
Comments: my goal was to run non stop, but I to a 20 second brisk walk thru 3 of the 5 water stations. I am glad I took the little breathers as I was able to finish very stong with a good sprint (for me anyways!)to the finish What would you do differently?: remember to put on body glide before the event, especially when it is humid and hot! Oy...my nipples are little rubys right now!!!! Post race
Warm down: Walking and stretching What limited your ability to perform faster: a proper warm up jog and too much pre-event liquid. Event comments: had fun I will be back next year, but won't have to worry about a slow first run 'cause I'll be swimming! Last updated: 2007-05-26 12:00 AM

Veteran 201 | Subject: RE: St.Malo Multisport Weekend Great work my friend, Good to see that you can run in transition where at the beginning you couldn't. I think I saw you on the run, were you wearing a green shirt? Keep up the great work, c. |

Woke up early had 3 mini bagals with milk. Drove out to St.Malo sipped on gatorade the whole way and munched on a power bar. I tried fueling a little differently this go around. Did not eat my regular brekkie (cereal, toast + PB) skipped coffee this am as well. Had all my gear packed and ready the night before.
The bad thing about the du's...it seems...is that you have to register early then stand around for 1 - 2 hours with nothing to do. I found a nice bench by the beach (away from the mossies) it had a beautiful breeze. I watched the start of the Oly. Tri. I did not jog around first as I did in the last sprint. I figured it is hot and humid...save it for the course!!
