Hey team,
So I'm training for a 70.3 race which is in 5 weeks time. My plan is to participate in olympic distance tri next weekend as a warm up for the 70.3.
The olympic tri is a multi-lap thing (3 lap swim, 2 lap bike, 3 lap run) and I am giving some consideration to voluntarily tacking on an extra lap each on the bike & run legs to get the total distances closer to what I'll be doing in the 70.3. I'm not doing the olympic to win so my finish time is not a factor - I just want a good opposed training day.
The only timing mats are in place as you enter/exit transition so no other mats are out on the course, and there are also no aid stations on the bike so I'm not taking stuff from other competitors in that regard.
What is the consensus - dick move or would this be OK?
As someone who volunteers a lot , as long as you aren’t last and there is always someone behind you, it would be fine.
Maybe next year volunteer at the race.
You aren’t cutting the course.
Worst case maybe only do it for the bike and finish the run and then just keep running once you cross the line. A lot of people do that in our races.
