I kept meaning to congratulate you on your 100 miler but kept not finding the time/right words (both to congratulate you and to get past the dreaded "prove you're not a robot" test)... I never thought I would get two congratulations behind! You are a machine. I truly don't understand how you do it. Maybe it really is a question of the old adage - the more you do, the more you CAN do. Anyway whatever it is, congratulations. That sounds like a damn fine HIM even without having run one of the toughest 100 milers in the world the week before.PiccolaPineConehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520539255908849462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-57524534745790824962013-05-12T18:45:10.972+02:002013-05-12T18:45:10.972+02:00I am convinced now that the pros have a different ...I am convinced now that the pros have a different setup in their transition zone because the head of our tri club is a transition pro and he took 6 and 4 minutes respectively. sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-4784576857887453912013-05-12T18:34:06.301+02:002013-05-12T18:34:06.301+02:00Mmmonyka, I am confident you will both love and do...Mmmonyka, I am confident you will both love and do well at ½ IM Mallorca if you come. <br /><br />The swim to bike transition involved covering about 1 km first in the wetsuit, the change, then running out with the bike. It took FOREVER! I feel like I have gotten really good at transitions and really don't do anything but what is necessary in them. But I looked at the first place guy's transitions now and they were 3 and 2 minutes so I'm obviously not using my time as well as I could!sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-41977832905124420552013-05-12T17:28:26.066+02:002013-05-12T17:28:26.066+02:00HIM one week after a very hard 100 mile race?!? Ar...HIM one week after a very hard 100 mile race?!? Are you crazy?:)<br /><br />Sounds like a good race that is becoming popular. Now I am really looking forward to it next year (ok, i have not even done a half ironman so maybe i will hate it this year and then of course i will not fly to mallorca). I too will borrow a bike on site, but i will try to get a high end tri bike:)<br /><br />What did you do in transitions???<br /><br /><br />mmmonykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703551248084847150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-91048755816572508822013-05-12T15:36:32.871+02:002013-05-12T15:36:32.871+02:00Niiiiice!

Unfortunately there is little you can do to escape the swim start chaos - even as a stronger swimmer (although I guess you can get out of the fray faster) but I've found starting a little wider (rather than in the middle) helps, even if it increases the distance by a few metres. Your ability to backup "big events" is awesome, enjoy your family holiday!cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.com
