Steelcase Grand Duathlon - DuathlonStandard

I went for a Neg split on this run, wanting to keep a good even pace to preserve for the bike and final run. I felt great on this run.

maybe pick it up slightly.

Decent transition. slipped shoes off, helmet on, glasses on and spare tube/etc in and gone.

Well. The rain was not nice, it was cold and did I mention it was down pouring rain with strong cross and head winds. I was passed by several people on Tri bikes. I am at a disadvantage with my road bike and the wind. I feel like I was giving up near the end of the bike leg with the strong winds.

TRI BIKE, more time on the trainer.

I was able to get one shoe off on the bike, but my hands were so cold I skipped the second one.

I felt a slight cramp after the bike in my right calf, I was concerned but I think it had to do with the cold weather from the bike. It subsided almost immediately and I picked up the pace, keeping a nice constant flow. I neg split the run and ended up passing about 5 people.

In short races like that, I would like to pick up a steady pace of under 6:38 from the start and about 3/4 mile from the finish give it all I have. I felt like I had energy left over after the race.

Walked around, tried to hide from the down pouring of the rain. Changed from the wet clothes inside a steelcase warehouse and warmed up.


no Tri Shoes, no Tri Bike. More time on the bike is needed to compete with others on tri bikes.


For the weather of the day, I felt the event was done as best and safely as possible. I enjoy the 3D events and look forward to them through out the rest of the year.
