Tri The Du - DuathlonStandard

Felt good on this run. Went out pretty fast with lead group at about 6:00/min pace but then decided it would probably be agood idea to slow down a bit :) Finished strong.

Maybe pushed a little harder on last mile because I was worried about being completely drained for bike.

Good trasition compared to my previous races. Had a good spot right by bike mount so didn't have to run far.

Pushed the windy portions of course hard and recovered and drank fluids with tailwind. Should have pushed that portion harder. I passed alot of people in windy part but let the group ahead of me get too far away. Could have gained another 2-3 positions for run.

Felt like a pro coming into T2 with my dismount. Went perfect.

Might have dismounted with bike speed a little too fast. If I was going a littel more faster probably would have spilled but it was ok.

felt sluggish on 1st mile and was fighting off some calf cramps. Slowed pace a bit and then got 2nd wind after 1st mile. Picked it up again and was around 7:00/mile. At turn around realized I had 3 guys on my butt so pushed second half a little harder. Heard the footsteps close in on last 1/2 mile as they were trying to pass me but I gutted it out and beat them. FELT GREAT! Haven't really raced like that in a while . This year was more about finishing the races and this one I raced the whole way.

Nothing

Stretching - drank some water - ate some apples and bananas and waited at finish for my buddy Mark to finish. This was his first race! I suckered him into this addicting sport - haha


Should have drank some more Gatorade Endurance right before event. I was really sweating and was losing sodium. Could taste it on my lips. Think That was why I almost cramped on Run #2.


Good race- will do it next year. Wish they would get official results up faster. Maybe next year they can do chip time.
