A Tri Grows in Brooklyn
Saturday - July 5
Drove out to CT for a big party. Ate better than yesterday, but no workout. Going to try to catch a look at the Tour before bed.
Looks like Dara Torres made Team USA, which is nice, because it means that there's still at least one Olympic athlete who's older than me.
B: Cereal
L: sashimi tuna, oysters
D: soft shelled crabs, other BBQ, stuff
Sunday - June 29
We're heading to Coney Island today, so I'm not sure what the prospects are for a workout. I think the lessons learned from yesterday are:
Stretch more--I really don't stretch before races as much as I should, but yesterday, I spent a good 10-15 minutes stretching, and I think it helped
Hydrate better before and during the race. On hot days like yesterday, I need to carry more fluid on the bike and carry a bottle with me out of transition on the run to get be through the stretches between water stations.
Concentrate on going fast on the bike. In the past, I've let my mind wander during the bike leg, and my speed has dropped off. I need to stay focused on the task at hand for the duration of the bike leg. Yesterday, I was really focused and it paid off.
B: Cinnamon Buns, melon
L: Hotdogs, fries at Nathans
D: Turkey & swiss on ww
