2025 MPCS Triathlon: New Run PR

Wow! Where to begin?! I placed 19/170 overall and 5/20 in my age group at the MPCS triathlon last weekend. And it all started with the prep leading up to race day. The two main challenges of this race were the technical bike course (16 total turns) and a new run route. When I arrived at early check-in on Friday, the volunteers were a huge help in directing me to the start of the run, which was different from years past. And just to be sure, I even drove the rest of route so I could visually see all the turns and get an idea of the terrain. All that preparation paid off big time today. For the bike, I did a lot of "spin up" training to get used to the barrage of accelerations and decelerations that come from a total of 16 turns. Essentially, it was about being more efficient at getting my cadence back to a high rate and taking advantage of that momentum while upshifting. This paid dividends on the run—not only did I avoid cramping, unlike last year, but I also ran at a faster pace and for a longer distance! My stats: Swim (200M): 3:22 Bike (8M): 20.1 mph avg Run (2.3M): 8:14 pace (New PR!) I also used the Windy app again and knew there would be a crosswind for the first bike loop that would slowly shift to a cross-tail wind on the second. When I felt that shift, I took advantage of it and pumped the pedals to shave off extra seconds. The forecast also showed a rapid increase in temperature, so I wore my lighter-colored clothing and brought my ice cap, and it all paid off—I didn't feel hot at all during the run. Overall, it was a fabulous race! From the great work of the Miles Perret Cancer Services, to putting on such fun and well-organized race with all the bells and whistles, they definitely knocked it out of the park! Post-Race Recovery & Performance Science: A huge shout-out to Beau Saunier for the post-race bodywork and Melissa Heinitz Saunier for being so kind as to capture the recovery session. We focused several different movements, but specifically shown in the video, he did two specific movements to reset my position after the race. Adductor Stretch: Aimed at releasing the inner thighs. Beau recommended incorporating Copenhagen planks to strengthen up the adductors. Posterior Hip Glide: A manual technique to help improve a "forward-sitting" hip position, which is common in runners and cyclists who spend a significant amount of time in a hip-flexed position.
