Underrated triathlon training tip: have a dad who

Underrated triathlon training tip: have a dad who can walk you through how to tap new threads in the bolt hole for your aero bar armrest when they inexplicably shred out two days before your race. They don’t teach you this stuff in triathlon school.

It was a lovely day to ride gravel in the rain at the @watavt Waterbury Gravel Grinder. Wave starts and capacity restrictions meant it wasn’t quite at its usual numbers but the feel of a pre-pandemic in-person event was there. They pulled off a good show.
Loved cutting the video for this one — lots of unique challenges. Watch for it real soon on @greenmountaingravel

A little gravel spin with the kids today to start putting the body back together. Glad to finally have them back on two wheels after a long winter.

The Shelburne Half Marathon was a battle. On coach

The Shelburne Half Marathon was a battle. On coach’s (@c26_triathlon ) request I ran it “blind,” no live splits data from my watch. Running by feel, throwing caution to the wind. I’m still processing whether that worked to my benefit or not. The jury is out.
One water station on the entire route, and all they had was water. I should have known this from the race email, but I didn’t notice it. Perhaps read over it without believing it. Surely there wouldn’t actually be only one aid station over 13 miles. Surely they would have gatorade, gels, something. I could have used some electrolytes. Some salt. Maybe literally anything. I had pockets but they were empty. I guess Ironman has made me soft. Ironic. My fault, in the end.
I started to slow down around mile 9 or 10. No kick to speak of, but I didn’t fully bonk. Just kept pushing what I had, as it got harder and harder. Longest final mile I’ve run in a long time.
Across the line and my legs gave up finally, nearly completely seizing. My hamstrings wanted no part of being upright, or even sitting. They cramped hard, and I was suddenly curled up in a ball on the ground, prompting a med check by race officials. It was only then that I noticed my thighs had chafed themselves bloody, too.
After a long while my legs started to cooperate and I could gather my wits about what I had managed to do.
A new 13.1 PR, and on the podium in 2nd for my age group (alas, only virtually due to covid protocols; nobody was allowed to congregate for awards).
It was hard won. And I will take it.

Prepping for a 13.1 is a lot easier than for a triathlon. But Vermont weather in May still makes it a challenge.

405 miles, meet 0 miles. Out with the old, in with the new. It’s funny how shoes grow with us. I never really noticed how run down these had gotten until I put the next pair alongside them. (But those heels tho amirite, where my high-arched supinators at, wo0t)

Excited for the opportunity to test out the new hydration line from @honeystinger !
I generally train on just water through the winter but once the sun reappears, it’s time for a more nuanced strategy. Honey Stinger Rapid Hydration officially launches on April 12!

Inaugural flight of the @flocycling G700s! Alas, no gravel. Because the gravel is currently 8” deep peanut butter. It’s been so long since I’ve ridden an endurance ride on asphalt that I almost have no reference for comparison anymore. But they felt great and I can’t wait to spin them on dirt.

Been a while since I was behind a camera that doesn’t fit in my pocket. Great fun with @philipkolling putting together a spring opener video for @greenmountaingravel - from concept to can in two days. Not bad for a couple of @graveldads
Thanks to @hannahclairebilli and @ollivandermednick for hosting us. Watch for the video soon on @greenmountaingravel
