Most people freak out at the swim and you are loving it. That is fantastic!<br /><br />Hard to say whether you bonked or not. I've only taken a gel on the bike, then early on in the run. I would say you definitely need to get the brick runs in. That is the best way to get your legs used to running off the bike. Also, as you get close to finishing up the bike portion, spin at a high cadence, stand up and stretch just to get the legs ready to run.<br /><br />Well done!!!Runner Leanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920305723750242672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563905131610841097.post-87039608567591496962009-08-06T19:51:18.115-04:002009-08-06T19:51:18.115-04:00Congrats on the finish.
