What: RACE!!!

If you're not racing, volunteer and watch those who are to learn some new techniques.

Make sure you get a good solid warm up and stretch. Eat early so that nothing is in your stomach at race time. Be done eating 3 hours prior to race time. Stay hydrated and out of the sun.

WU is run 10-15 mintues with several accels to race effort. Then swim a few laps also with accels to get the blood moving. CD with 15-20 minutes of easy cycling.

Swim hard, but leave a little in the tank. Don't go out too fast--start at 1000yd TT pace and slowly increase speed. Don't make huge pushes off the wall--save your legs. Be smooth and efficient.

Ride slightly harder than you think you should. You should strive to make each lap faster than the previous. Lean the bike and your hips into the corners.

Run like it's the 5km TT on the track from a few weeks ago.Once you get to the Mall, it's all in your head, so push through the pain and will your body into running. Lean slightly forward and force yourself into good form. It's not over until you cross the finish line, so kick it in for the crowd.

Oh, and have fun!

...volunteer and cheer at the race, then group up and do a brick from the race area.

RED: Ride moderate pace (effort 6-7) for 2 hours, run 0:45 effort 7.

WHITE: Ride effort 6-7 1:30, run effort 7 0:40
