Tyno 2,403 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I assume @AA7 mustered up something a bit better than a walk too? But, with Cranky finishing in front at Worlds and at Noosa, is she the new Queen? Link to post Share on other sites

Cant be disappointed with being only 35secs back knowing i can comfortably run 7-8 mins faster than my foot allowed me to today. I was stupid and stubborn today. Paying for it now.

Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Cranky, I'm pretty sure there was a post a few months ago where you were talking about doing too many sessions on the bike in a week, and when I said you weren't over-training for OD I got shot down. I said something along the lines of having to do a lot of work to be a good OD athlete. I feel a lot better now. And congratulations on the win today. I'll bet the feeling you got when you won your AG made all those hard training sessions worth it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

AA7 1,831 Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Meanwhile, some people need to prepare better for the races they enter. The swim conditions were choppy but not difficult. Many people were getting brought in by the lifesavers in the rubber duckies. I even heard some people saying they should've moved the swim to the canal. Link to post Share on other sites

I even heard some people saying they should've moved the swim to the canal. I was in the very last wave to leave, so was watching from up in the surf club and saw quite a few people rescued by the lifesavers. And yes, I heard several say it should be moved back to the canal. Locals also told me that beach is calm as a millpond most of the time. Where we live, it is impossible to practice in those conditions (unless I can find a way to make the cod in Copeton go crazy & thrash up a chop ), but I practice head-lifting & sighting a lot in the pool which helps. And the marker buoys were huge at Noosa, very easy to see which also helped. My pool swim time for 1500m is 26:45, and y'day my actual time in the water was 27:46 so very pleased with given the chop. Was expecting well over 30 mins watching the other waves battle through. Interestingly, I noticed watching the FB live video beforehand the pros lift their heads and sight every 2-4 strokes. I was counting at least 10 strokes before sighting. There were people all around me breast-stroking too. Looks OK in this photo from the surf club, but was pretty lumpy once you got wet.

chappy019 23 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Congrats to all who finished - tough day out there in the heat. I cant recall in seeing so many people either pulled out of swim or needing an ambulance on the run. The swim was choppy but had nothing on the sunny coast 70.3 swim! Bit of an anomaly for Noosa to kick up like that, but I think in general some events need to temper the way they promote the conditions - events like kingscliff and tweed who openly promote "downhill or tide assisted swim" are asking for trouble if people turn up undertrained and don't get the conditions as expected. On a side note - is anyone actually a fan of the SIS electrolytes - have to be one of the worse tasting stuff on the market in my opinion! Link to post Share on other sites

trifun 446 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) where those stats get interesting is that if I drill inot my personal results it tells me: that it was out of 4214 (starters?/ finishers ? does not add up with the figures I got by porting all of the published results (as of 11 am this morning) into excel), additionally 2967 males and 147 in the legends. Yes I took the early start - to stay out of the heat and have a reduced congestion bike ride (having passed most of the Smiddy's in the swim) whilst avoiding the competition (for health reasons) in the Open Masters wave I usually enter.

Until the end of year I think running will be the focus, I reckon she's capable of going faster than she is at the moment. I agree. The times she is giving for Parkrun just don't add up to her ability. I'll let you do the "coaching", but she really needs to learn how to run fast. When you can run a km in 3 minutes, it makes running 4min/km in a race feel that much easier. Link to post Share on other sites
