Hey everyone….since I am 52 years old it took me a while to go all in.

At 49 I bought a road bike to get in shape and ended up getting with a great community of riders and doing century rides and a 400 mile adventure over 5 days in Michigan last year.

At 51 I bought a decent pair of running shoes and began running with my wife of 32 years. So far have done a 1/2 marathon and many other runs. Great times.

Now I am 52….ready to combine the two things I love riding and running. This weekend will do the Deer Creek 1/2 Iron Man Duathlon in Mt Sterling Ohio.

I tried the swimming but maybe next year.

A little nervous about this weekend. As I taper my training focused on putting together a good nutrition plan for race day. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Doug
