BlueSkiesKel 0 #1 January 15, 2007 Ok, So I want to run a Sprint Tri on Sunday Feb 11th at 7am, BUT.. I dont get off work until 5am which means I'll have basically been up since 3pm Saturday afternoon.. should I still run it? or will my body really hate me for it? I've been trng for it, then they switched my schedule on me and I cant really afford to take leave to run it i'm leaning towards going for it.. am I crazy?

One time I did a 5K race on a saturday evening, then a 20K race the next morning 150 miles away. Granted, not the same thing, but I was more tired than usual afterwards."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont lie the only thing you run to is CVS to get new batterieshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

jmpnkramer 0 #7 January 16, 2007 Hey Kel I know you cannot be the only one on shift. If you work with a cool crew they should let you get some rest. Also Allegedly the best rest before a race is two days before not the night before. Either way your body will pay because it is abusive. I have done a few and body was mad! I cannot believe if they know you are into something that you cannot get someone to switch with ya. GOOD LUCK GIRLY! .The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

GOOD LUCK GIRLY! . well i'll be working both nites before the race.. so not much rest i'll get, and unfortunately we're short on qualified watchstanders right now, which is why i have an unqualed partner.. if he was qualified then i'd have a chance to get some rest, i just cant afford to take that much leave, i'm hopin somone will cover for me to sleep a few hours more.. we will see.. should be interesting thats for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites GQ_jumper 4 #9 January 16, 2007 You'd be amazed at what you can do with little/no sleep, some of my best physical performances have happened after being up for a few days. I say go for it, the worst that happens, you have a better understanding of how far you can push yourself and you get some decent cardio out of it.
