Tri Lessons Learned 2010 season

Notes on last year's season - finally:

Good things I already do:

1. Packed transition box
2. Reference the transition point
3. Drive / ride the bike course before
4. Cool down / warm up in the water before the swim.
5. Garnier summer sun moisturiser helps to get a wetsuit off
6. Helmet on the bike saddle to make sure it's on before I un-rack and off only when the bike is racked.
7. Tie the pump on the bike to risk a ride without one.
8. Turn off computer auto-off and leave running on the bike in TX to save fiddling.
9. Arrange a rest week. 2010 end of season suggests one week of activity prior will help a finish like Todmorden.
   

Things I found out:

1. I can always dig out more at the end of the run. Make sure you know where to put it with a recce.
2. Get to the start line early.
   

Stuff to resolve to do or try out:

1. You have a number belt now - use it.
2. Get a run around the course beforehand.
3. A protein drink on the bike like after Ingleborough last year & take PS22 with.
4. Keep a small flask of coffee in tx incase Ullswater is really cold.
5. Save Go hydration and sugar for the run.
6. Eat something on the bike now we're doing long races.
7. Reign in the bike and save some for the run.
8. Protein food on Helvellyn.
9. Run your own race and ignore everyone else.
