Coaching Tip of the Week:

Last week we had a good unpacking of the question – Am I ready to race? This week we help you answer that question and help you eliminate the doubts that are keeping you up at night.

You’ve been putting in months of training and now your big race is just a few weeks away. I have athletes racing Chatty 70.3 and Boulder 70.3 and all at slightly staggered points in there final preparation. Just like you might do a dress rehearsal to iron out the wrinkles for a stage performance, a race rehearsal is a dry run of the race ahead.

What we are are rehearsing?

1. Hydration and nutrition days leading up, evening before, morning of and throughout the race rehearsal
2. OWS sighting and pacing
3. Bike race day power, clothing, equipment, hydration, fueling, sun protection – everything just like race day.
4. Run at race pace – just not as long. 40 minutes off the bike after a 3:30 bike.
5. Post race recovery and nutrition
6. Clothing, fueling, hydration, power, pace, time of day…everything just like race day
