Blindspot Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 ...and maybe a little panicky. I am way less prepared than last year (and I didn't exactly storm the race last time) But you've gained experience : )
nolipoli Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 That is true. I know exactly how much I am going to hurt!
bclark Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 That is true. I know exactly how much I am going to hurt! You will do great.Theres plenty others like you and I, that will be hurting.
nolipoli Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I must say that it was heart breaking watching cyclists coming in after the cut off last time. It made me realise how much worse it could be.
Blindspot Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 My mother-in-law just made the cutt off last year and she never got on a road bike since.
Lenard Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 My training routine stopped for 70.3. Give the body some time to heal. Will start the hydrating fase today and then add the carbo loading phase by Thursday. Feels weird, no where to run/cycle or swim to this morning..
Red Zone Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 50 % or so chance of light rain, 23 degrees, and wind is forcast to be light. Not ideal, but should be ok
Showtime Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 50 % or so chance of light rain, 23 degrees, and wind is forcast to be light. Not ideal, but should be ok I'll take that Give me some light rain rather than 35°C heat any day. Sidekick Racer 1
Iron Midge Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Cannot wait for the race! Doing it for the 2nd time and hopefully a bit better prepared. Aiming to cut my time from 6h24 to 5h45.
ADe Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Race week! Training done and I am feeling better from my cold I picked up somewhere and now just excited to have fun on Sunday. I am not expecting any fire works this year, but would be happy with: Swim 42 minT1 7 minBike 3:20T2 5Run 2:06 Total: 6:20 To be honest I will be happy just finishing in under 7 hours.
Blindspot Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 50 % or so chance of light rain, 23 degrees, and wind is forcast to be light. Not ideal, but should be ok That will be as close to perfect racing condition as you will get. I'll take that 50% before betting on the other 50%.
fabes Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Hardly looks like any wind. My goals are Swim: 35minCycle: 2:55 - 3 hoursRun: Um anything under 2 and half hours is a win. I have run 4 km in the last 3 months so i am in for a long day
Blindspot Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 I have run 4 km in the last 3 months so i am in for a long day Hectic Fabes, at that pace you should finish the run in just over 15 months
