Just an easy 40 minute Overdistance run at lunch today plus kickball in the evening… and I just realized I left my Suunto and HR strap in the locker room at work. I have no idea whether it will be there tomorrow or if I’ll be able to recover it if it’s not. Damn…
Four weeks to the 5430 Long Course… I’m not starting to get nervous or excited yet about the impending race, there are still a lot of hours of training between now and then.
Some thoughts on stuff I want to try toget done between now and then (aside from the scheduled training).
1. Do a loop of the run course – I’ve done the bike course many times but I need to familiarize myself with the run course as well.
2. Bike Tuneup – 1-2 weeks before the race, bring the bike in and get the brakes and derailleurs adjusted.
3. Check Bike bag – Make sure I have the proper CO2, tools, tube and tire change material for my race.
4. Review transition materials/setup and checklist – make a list of what to have in transition for each transition, how to optimally set it up and what order to put it all on/off
