The RUN

Did I mention I love the RUN ?I am not the fastest guy on the island, but I love to keep the hunt on for the young ones.
Like lions chasing down their prey.

Here is where it all comes down to being prepared.  If you trained right and followed your drink & food plan, you should be ready to run wild through the weak ones

Most run legs are 5K or 3.2 miles not a long ways to run, but after 750 m swim and 25k on the bike,  5k is enough…. Just take it easy, let your legs come back to life, your changing muscle groups… they need some time to adjust, so no going out at 5 minute mile pace…. After about the first half mile or 800m, you should know if you have had enough to drink, if your legs start to shake, or a muscle spasm, relax and slow down, no need to hurt yourself… walking is ok, lot of people will be doing it…. When you feel ok, start to jog and then maybe you will be able to finish running.

Runners are most likely the largest group to try this sport, bikers are next, then swimmers… (they hate running) which means they will be the first ones you pass, this will give you some motivation and likely speed you up…

Most races will mark you legs and arms with numbers, one is your official number and other is your age… this is how you can tell who your racing with.
Look down and check out those legs, and this will be another motivating moment it will also help you get by people.

For races of 10k and longer, you may need some food, be it a snack or power gel, just make sure you have water or a sport drink available to wash it down.

Rest stations are most likely found along the run, every 1500m or if a really HOT day closer together.
If your race has more your lucky, if not、bring some water with you.
Fuel Belt makes wonderful accessories for running
You can get race belts that hold water or even use a camel back

I won’t bore you with running issues, most people know how to run and when there tired they will walk, which I feel is great, because FINNISHING is the goal…..

So keep going and NEVER stop…. If it takes 12 hours, so what….  Last place in a TRIATHLON is the same as 1st place… you get the same t shirt and you get the same rights to say I completed my Triathlon today。
