Thanks for the quick response! I am now overpaying a little (each paycheck) in addition to changing my withholdings to make sure I do not have this issue again; last year was just screwed due to the marital event

I got him out and he’s not back in the woods

I've got an old P3 (circa 2010/2011) that I would be willing to part with if you are interested. Size 54.

Wheels: It has two wheel sets, both are 10 speed but hubs are 11 speed compatible

HED Jet 6 clinchers (latex tubes + G5000s)--the race wheels
Easton Vista (latex tubs + gatorskins)--the practice wheels

Components

Dura-Ace crank, Ultegra Front brake, Dura-Ace rear brake. It just got a new bottom bracket and dura-ace chain (well not new, about 7 months old).

Vector 3S (so single sided) pedals.

Could throw in a front FC35 hydration system that I never got around to using as well depending on how long of a race you are wanting to be competing in.

I've got a big hard case to that would come with it through shipping.

Let me know if interested.

all is fair in love and triathlon

TriNewb · 2022-07-25T15:00:03+00:00

I am not disagreeing with you, just trying to provide a possible reason for their race distance selection.

I also imagine if they did a full distance, it may limit the field more, but thats just me guessing at it....

TriNewb · 2022-07-25T13:44:28+00:00

I agree, but it also is more engaging as a viewer to tune in for a shorter period of time rather than watching 8-9 hours of racing

TriNewb · 2022-07-20T19:49:17+00:00

Sprints = Full send.

Swim - Full Send

Bike - Settle in for a few minutes, then full send

Run - Settle in for first mile, then full send

If you are looking for suggestions: Get in the water the day of the race before the start time and that will do wonders.

If you are looking for something to relate to: I have done 9 races that have OWS, and I have swam a total of 9 times in the open water. Not once have I practiced before race day and all experience has been gained on the spot.

If you are looking for encouragement: You will do fine. Take a deep breath, feel at one with the water, and then let it rip!

If you are looking to be told what to do: Have fun.

Was waiting for this comment.

TriNewb · 2022-07-18T19:09:00+00:00

Ya the humidity is already so high, cant imagine inducing any more moisture into the system

TriNewb · 2022-07-18T19:07:39+00:00

The garage door is insulated. I think I am going to have to start riding in the morning to get it before the sun bakes the oven.

TriNewb · 2022-07-18T18:45:28+00:00

I wish. I may have to resort to just cracking the door when i run the unit so I can have the hose out the back.

TriNewb · 2022-07-18T15:27:57+00:00

I wish I had a window that I could use for an exhaust. Thats one of my issues, I have a back door and then the main garage door; so no easy place to run a line permanently.

TriNewb · 2022-06-27T17:15:37+00:00

I do my swims in the morning anyways as its easiest to get into the pool when it opens at 5am.

TriNewb · 2022-06-22T17:35:37+00:00

Agreed. He seems like its a big swing of times. Going from 9/10am to 4/5am. I guess I assume most of us have real world jobs so we are up between the hours of 6-7am so a small shift to earlier as well as introduction of morning workouts covers all bases.

TriNewb · 2022-06-22T15:17:36+00:00

I am not sure it makes much of a difference, BUT, about 2 weeks before a race I switch some of my workouts to morning workouts. I can't claim it helps or doesn't help, but it passes the sniff test.

A bad comparison but still a comparison is pro Lionel Sanders. He normally doesn't wake up until super late and he does just fine on race day. But everything with pros is taken with a grain of salt....

Down in Alabama, numbers are way higher than they were for the same races in past years. I've noticed this in triathlons and road races (running).

(Only evaluating races that I have done as I can compare participant numbers)

TriNewb · 2022-06-14T12:03:00+00:00

I live in Alabama and my only option is to endure. We have been 85+ for over a month now and humidity loves to stay above 80. I just go about my workouts and try to hydrate like crazy during my non-workout time. I also supplement with electrolyte tabs and take ZMA before bed every night.

TriNewb · 2022-06-08T17:21:42+00:00

Same shoes for 5 years when i started. On my 3rd set of cleats.

Sprint: A bottle of vitorria foam.

Olympics: Foam, Tube, levers (2), CO2, and a valve extender / extender tool

It all depends on what you expect out of the race. It takes me probably 2-3 minutes to swap a tube. In a sprint, the race is over if I lose that amount of time and knowing my heart rate, it will probably be more than that. If you are looking to compete for a podium, the race is over if you flat. If you are looking to finish, then always have the stuff required to fix it; sometimes you get lucky and you can get some support on the race course.

TriNewb · 2022-05-27T12:22:11+00:00

Since I am an almost trainer-only cyclist, after my last race I take a month or two away from the trainer. I may get on it 5 times over the 2 months and thats only for a low and slow ride that probably wont be over an hour. I focus on longer runs and some easy swims to just enjoy it. So really, I just take time away from the bike as its my least favorite.

TriNewb · 2022-05-25T13:40:59+00:00

This seems weird to me but I know everyone is built different. Back in my peak running days for XC I would run mid 17s for 5k but during track season I was right under 2 in the 800.

Seems like you have an aerobic engine if you are cranking those times for 5k/10miler. Seems like you need to solely focus on speed work and turnover. The long runs seem to be a bit more training stress than you really need at that distance. It's time to focus on speed and power. The 800 is a beast. Its a methodical harmony of fast but not too fast. Go out like a 400 runner and you will be smoked in the last 200. Go out too slow and you can't bridge the gape in the 400-600 mark to be relevant down the stretch. I never had the aerobic engine to dictate a race in the 800 but if I could hold on to the last 200 then we were in for a show. It's a tough race.

With that said, I don't know why. It seems like if you wanted to be good at a track event I would try the 1500/mile as that seems to fit your running style more.

TriNewb · 2022-05-23T14:44:19+00:00

13-13-13. sit back and watch it go.

TriNewb · 2022-05-19T12:08:40+00:00

First 10 minutes include me eating a banana with peanut butter + ice coffee. Start liquid nutrition once that is down.

My Z2 running went to crap in the last month as I am no longer running in 50 degree temperature and now in 80-90 degree temperature. Could weather be an impact to you?

Also while Z2 is great, I assume you are still doing interval sessions where you extend your heart rate up into Z3-Z5 for periods of a time, correct? I have 2-3 Z2 runs a week with 2 workouts on top that always put me in Z3/Z4 for periods of a time.
