Awesome race.
What do you typically do to warm up before a sprint tri?
If I've got time typically 5mins easy run and then 4 x strides. So start slow and build up to an all-out sprint for 3-4 seconds and then slow down. Great way to get the heart rate up, and blood moving without creating fatigue. I also, like doing a couple of run drills. But all up we're talking about a 10 minute warm up.
For a duathlon I find it's critical to warm up. For a triathlon, not so critical as starting with the swim it's not so bad being non load bearing. But, I like to do star jumps on land and if it's deep water start I'll do some accelerations in the water as I swim into place.
