Of course you'll be back to tri again!<BR/><BR/>Re the run time difference - I think the better triathlete you are, the less time difference there is. For mugs like us, it's bigger.<BR/><BR/>I'm impressed by your 400s session - quicker and less recovery - all good!Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-38463345821240531952008-07-09T20:03:00.000+01:002008-07-09T20:03:00.000+01:00Since you asked, hill work under the Lydiard train...Since you asked, hill work under the Lydiard training consisted mainly of bounding or springing up the hill (a bit hard to explain). It was nowhere near as anaerobic as those hill sprints.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-53882523222991416782008-07-09T02:10:00.000+01:002008-07-09T02:10:00.000+01:00Great race and report Grellan.

Very impressive. <BR/>For comparison my 1/2 marathon time is about 1:25 but after a 1.9 Km swim and 90 km bike I usually am about 1:35. So your 10k sounds pretty good to me!<BR/>Great job! Maybe you want to set your sights on Hawaii instead of Boston!Garryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888406263171407696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-6540344175153432672008-07-06T14:59:00.000+01:002008-07-06T14:59:00.000+01:00Thomas I don't know the standard conversion betwee...Thomas I don't know the standard conversion between a 10k PB and a 10k Tri PB. Perhaps some of the more experienced Triathletes out there could comment on that. All I know is that a 1.5 k swim followed by a 45 k hilly bike ride does not compare to a 2 mile warmup @ easy pace followed by a few strides as preparation for a 10k run. In addition the run yesterday was over a much hillier course than my 10 k PB course and my 10k PB followed specific 10 k speed training.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9214414108660001486.post-31791875721625611582008-07-06T12:00:00.000+01:002008-07-06T12:00:00.000+01:00Congratulations.

Still very annoying, though.<BR/><BR/>7:02 wouldn't be very impressive for a 10k run on its own. I'm surprised the bike and swim legs take so much out of you (I'm saying that as someone who has never done a tri. Definitely not meant as a criticism.)Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802380462713592586noreply@blogger.com
