Tri Clinic in the A.M./ P.M. Run
I went to a Triathlon Clinic put on by C.A.A.N. Sports this morning. C.A.A.N. Sports is Candy Angle and Andy Noble, two profession triathletes. The clinic was held in conjunction with the Cohasset Triathlon, and we were lucky enough to get to swim in the same place that we’ll do it on race day.
The clinic was really helpful and interesting. I learned all about running without socks, how to set up transition areas and how to put on a wetsuit.
I also got to swim in 50 degree water. It’s cold. Well it wasn’t bad where the wetsuit covered me, but my feet, hands and face were really cold. So cold that I didn’t really put my face in all that much. Any semblance of good swimming form I had completely went out the window also.
The good news is that it should warm up enough by next month that I don’t freeze my ass off.
I went to Mel’s Hyde Park Bike shop today to check out a bike, but it was too tall. So no go there. But he might have parts to build one from scratch for me, so he’s going to call on monday or tuesday. If not, I think I’m gonna suck it up and buy one off Amazon.
Went for a run today also…..
Tempo run, race speed.
Time: 27:09
Distance: 3.1
I think after the Cohasset Tri my goal will be do run a sub-25 5k.
