Cupid's Sprint Duathlon - Duathlon

Felt like I did pretty good. Got stuck in a little traffic but was able to get out and get in a good position.

Was my first time changing to bike shoes in a Du. Last time I just stayed in running shoes to save time. I think it went pretty well with my transition set-up. I also was mentally going through the order of what I needed to do and how to do it during the run which I feel helped.

Someday learn how to have my shoes clipped and get on the bike that way. I probably would've fallen over had I tried it this time.

Passed 2 people and got passed by a relay biker going like 25~26mph. Was a little demotivating until I found out he was on a relay team after the race.

Get in better bike shape, I struggled the last 2 miles and it hurt my second run.

I unvelcroed my shoes so I could just hop out coming in to transition. I used speed laces for the first time and was really happy.

Learn and practice riding with feet on top of shoes.

I was spent by the time I got to the second run. I wanted to run maybe a 6:30 pace but it was closer to 7 mins. I need to do more brick workouts.

Was a good race. I feel good about where I placed especially with the larger than expected crowd. (There were about 20 people on the same course in Oct. 09)
