So I was curious about some general racing strategies, tips, or practices that yall may have. There were a few posts on here recently where tactics were called out as being inappropriate and I would like to learn more. I guess most were related to the bike leg; for example, riding into a head or tailwind. What would be the best strategy for this to optimize overall time?

Are there any for swimming or running, or anymore in general that would be good to know? I was looking today because I am extremely bored at work and have a race next month. One was discussing a TT strategy on Friel's blog about how to appropriately pace one of these by dividing it into quarters and then towards the last quarter adjusting to focus on pedal strokes in a 123,123, pattern but going hard on the 1 and easier on the 2 and 3 as a mental game to keep oneself engaged I guess. But this was for a pure TT, so I guess outside of just practicing pacing and everything for a tri, could anyone impart some knowledge that is a little more in depth than some of the newbie advice about quick-laces or things of that nature??
