Discussion: run after biking

I've always found that, too. Takes a few miles for the legs to remember what they're doing. In the few triathlons I did, a large part of the run was spent telling myself that I actually could move faster than I currently was going.

So glad you have a bike! Be safe =)

I've been told that increasing the cadence towards the end of the biking helps the legs do their thing when it comes to running. Interestingly, when Lori and I did the Hale triathlon I found that transitioning from a mountain bike course wasn't so bad.

But isn't that because you just ran the mountain bike course pushing or carrying your bike for most of it?

Not at all! Why would you accuse me of such a thing, Alex?

That was a different triathlon.

They should reverse it. Run first, bike second.

...and award style points for the bike-swim transition.
