Final prep for Hagerstown Sprint Triathlon
This Sunday is the Hagerstown Sprint Tri.
I’m ready.
Tonight I did my final training swim, and tomorrow I’ll do my final run.
Biking is the only area that I feel I haven’t given enough attention to in the past 3 weeks. I have been taking it easy because of some calf issues that developed.
Fortunately, all pain is gone, and I am sure I could have done more riding, but safety first!
I’m excited about this race:
- 300 meter pool swim
- 11.5 mile bike
- 3.1 mile run
I’m sure I’ll own the run. My target will be 21 minutes to complete the run.
My target for the swim, 6 minutes. Not ambitious, but swimming is my weak link.
The biking is a question mark. It is supposed to rain, and if the course is wet, I’ll take it very easy. The course is not closed to traffic, and there are several sharp turns. On wet pavement this will make me more wary than otherwise.
If, however, the course is dry and well managed, I plan on pushing hard. I’d like to do it in under 30 minutes.
My goal is to spend less than 5 minutes in each transition. I have no idea if this is good or bad, but that’s my goal.
Rock,
Bill
