So sorry to hear ...Congratulations on your race!!!<br /><br />So sorry to hear about the BA before the race. Given everything that you've had going on lately it is easy to see that you might be less than excited for this. But you raced it and did so well! Wow, such an improvement on your swim!! And nicely done on the bike. Sorry to hear about the slower run though.... :( You did really well though!!<br /><br />As for the HR on the bike...hard to say without a graph. I've found that my HR winds up settling down over the course of the bike, slowly dropping the entire time, even though I think I'm busing my behind out there. Not sure what suggestion to offer... Sorry!Runner Leanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920305723750242672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-67312715182628303612009-08-20T18:38:00.937-05:002009-08-20T18:38:00.937-05:00you did GREAT!!! congrats :)you did GREAT!!! congrats :)Aronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418163097675963683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-46638837543990408362009-08-20T10:25:29.406-05:002009-08-20T10:25:29.406-05:00congrats!congrats!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-19652173114865893602009-08-18T19:53:30.296-05:002009-08-18T19:53:30.296-05:00Nice job!

Sounds like a great race! As for the soc...Nice job! Sounds like a great race! As for the socks issue--I always go without socks unless it's a full Ironman. Try it in practice (remember to use anti-foot odor powder afterwards b/c your shoes will stink otherwise). I also apply baby powder to the shoes to help absorb moisture. Then, I put the socks on in T2 for the run (the socks also have baby powder). <br /><br />As for your heart rate, it sounds like you might need to practice more transitions. You are probably used to a certain pace on the bike but your effort is always higher when you race. Practice swim to bike (swim to run also works) and bike to run on certain days. For instance: do a short swim followed by a short run and then repeat 3 or 4 times (do the same thing with the bike to run--easiest if you use a trainer for this). Hope this helps!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821164461194210117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-32549294543679470132009-08-17T16:03:01.141-05:002009-08-17T16:03:01.141-05:00sounds like you had a tough time on the run. good...sounds like you had a tough time on the run. good thing you had those other sports to fall back on!

You're learning so much each time and that's what's important- like where to set up transitions, the entrance/exits, etc. <br /><br />I'm not sure about the heart rate thing... the only thing I do when I notice my heart rate is going is focus on my breathing & try to slow THAT down. I'm sure you tried this though.<br /><br />I think you did GREAT!!!<br /><br />KelsaynnSavvyFitChicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411757549007399118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-44270699005682084412009-08-17T14:53:49.817-05:002009-08-17T14:53:49.817-05:00Great job on your tri!

C...Now that's the way to wrap up a tri season! Congratulations!! You had a stellar day!!! My coach sez its not a good idea to compare races because the conditions just aren't the same. ya know, but in your case, the improvements are so big, its obvious that you are making great progress.<br /><br />In answer to your questions...<br /><br />You need to go sock-less :-) I lurve my Zoots and my tri bike shoes for that reason. No socks required.<br /><br />In a sprint, it's hard to bring your heart rate down after the swim. On an Olympic or longer, I usually spend the first 10 minutes or so, just spinning easy for the sole purpose of bringing down the heart rate. In a sprint, you don't have time for that, so you just go go go and suck it up.<br /><br />Great job again!! I'm glad you had a great race!!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-39170714744782199432009-08-17T09:52:12.345-05:002009-08-17T09:52:12.345-05:00Great job!
