    • Staggered Starts:
      • We will start in Physically Distanced Groups of 5
      • 30s Interval between starts
    • Practicing the Process: We want to “practice the process” of racing. It’s during time trials (TT) and “practice races” that we “can make mistakes”…meaning we can experiment with things like, when we eat before the event, when we start our warm up, what kind of warm up we do, practice pacing or other strategy, etc. This way you are more prepared when we do enter a “real” race. Here are some things to consider before the event:
      • Get a good night’s rest, 
      • Know when to get up and have breakfast based on when the TT starts, 
      • Eat something that is easily digested
      • Know when and where the TT starts, 
      • Know when you need to arrive at the site for the warm up, 
      • Know your warm-up, 
      • Have a strategy for your event – the start, pacing, etc
      • Be at the start on time
      • Know the course
      • Race/compete well
      • Do a proper cool down
      • Bring with you post-event nourishment
      • Do post-event reflection

• Bring: Running Shoes, a change of clothes, and some post-event food and drink.

Sunday October 4:

• 1 to 2 hrs Long Slow Distance – LSD (Refer to your Training Plans)
• Add 4-6 sprints of 10-15 seconds after 30-40min. Spread these out over the course of the workout.
