Are the cutoffs for finishing each sport or for starting the next? I.e. at 45 minutes (sprint cutoff) do I need to be out of the water or on my bike to continue?

A little more information on the Indian Head rail trail (I lived in Indian Head for 12 years and am still in the area; this is my “home trail”).
There is parking at Indian Head (but not next to the trail, you have to ride a bit on roads to get there), Livingston Road, Bennesville Road, Middleton Road, and the trail head at White Plains. Here’s a…[Read more]

I’d probably consider the Lezyne mini GPS (or any, really, except the macro; it won’t work with your sensors). You won’t be able to record your workouts, but you can do distance/speed recording with a phone app if you want (some phones can also record your sensors, but leaving your phone screen on for a whole ride is not really good so you want a…[Read more]

The two different connection technologies are ANT+ and Bluetooth. Which do you have?

I don’t see the super sprint as an option in registration? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Thanks Coach!
Should I put the third swim on the rest day, or double it with something else (probably the short ride, since riding is my strongest sport).

Nazim, I put Profile Design Century aero bars on my bike. They have an upturn at the end and the pads are high enough I can still use the flats, but they’re significantly cheaper than the bars Erik mentioned. My only complaint is that the steel bars seem to double the weight of my (carbon fiber) road bike! If I enjoy this first triathlon, I’ll…[Read more]

I noticed that next week’s swim workouts start with 150 yd warmup. I’m still struggling to swim 50 yds non-stop. If I can’t swim 150 yds, is it okay to pause? Should I adjust the distances in some way? Should I consider adding a third swim each week to ‘catch up’ or will cross training with the run/bike help?
Second, my family (husband, parents,…[Read more]

I just noticed that the date for Duathlon #2 on the NTP calendar doesn’t match up with the club website. I’m assuming the website is correct….?
