ok, so I cant really take credit for this! I actually cut one of the loops off of the bike course.

This feeds into my biggest lesson learned. Don’t take a nap too soon before the OWS practice so you can make sure you make it to test if your wet suit still fits!

Mine was a little snugger than last year and i immediately had a hard time breathing once the swim started, the kayaker wouldn’t let me hand it to them so I ended up taking my arms out and swimming the first lap with my wet suit around my waist, then spent 5 minutes on the beach between laps trying to take it off, because (of course) it got stuck on my timing chip. The swim took so much out of me due to the first lap (almost 15 minutes slower than the first lap due to the drag of my half worn wet suit). I have been struggling with my run so I was hoping that I could salvage my run by cutting the bike short.

That being said what went well- the second loop of the run (lets not talk about the first one) I finished very strong with another significant negative split.

What do I need to work on. My run. The way my legs felt the first lap with the cramps that took nearly 3 miles to leave my calves tells me i am probably not pushing my bricks or attacking enough hills.

Lets hope Williamsburg is not wet suit legal!

I will say this was my first time doing Pesantman and it was a ton of fun, will definitely sign up again next year

is DC try organizing any group rides prior to all the clinics?

[Lauren Pittenger]

Thanks! For this group if we are doing Rev 3 which race should we sign up for.

Also there was mention of camping? i am guessing there is camping at Lake Anna state park? I am still new to the area so not familiar with Lake Anna. Will folks be staying in a certain area and what day is best to arrive? Friday or Saturday?

Thanks

Lauren

Hi,

I cant find the email, what is the address for the clinic site?

I know it is at CUA but where specifically on campus and where do we park?

 

[Lauren Pittenger]

i would be interested. I have been debating signing up but have not done much since Mont Tremblant half in June. My strength is the bike not the run
