Pigman Sprint Triathlon | JMS Racing Services 3 late season training tips for the last two weeks before the Pigman Sprint:
Technique Before Speed
Even if you're well into your training, put proper technique before speed. The reason is simple: using the wrong technique will either slow you down or get you hurt. What's more, if you make the right technique a matter of habit, you're going to go as fast as you can on race day.
Break in Your Race Gear
Don't pull out your race bike on race day and expect to have a good bike leg. If you've never worn a wetsuit until race day, you're going to lose time in the transition getting it off. And don't buy a brand new pair of shoes two days before the race. All your gear needs to be fully broken in well in advance of the race.
Transition in the Dark
If you're racing the Pigman Sprint, you should be practicing your transitions several times a week right now. Taking off your wetsuit, getting your bike gear on, and changing over to racing flats needs to be second nature. Try performing your transitions in the dark. Yes, you might fumble with your shoes, but you'll gain a lot of confidence knowing you can take off your wetsuit, grab your helmet and get your shoes on in the dark. And confidence is half of what goes in to ensuring a successful race day.
