Camp Partlow Duathlon - Duathlon

Had a decent run for the conditions. Was not prepared for the course to be so hilly though.

Warm up before the run. I woke up with plenty of time, but just fiddle farted around the house for too long and forgot about the 30 min drive time.

I forgot to hit my lap counter so I don't know what my transition time was. Non chip race, I'll just guess about 1:30. 1 gel and big gulp of water. Also my first race so everything was an experiment.

Get to the event earlier so I wasn't at the very back of the transition area.

I thought I rode a good race. Never got passed and passed a good number of people. Course marshalls did a damn good job of controlling traffic. I probably drank a little too much on the ride and felt it sloshing around for a few minutes once it hit the second run.

I really don't know. Maybe push a little harder on the downhills.

Drank a little too much Cytomax on the bike and it was sloshing around pretty good. Had to walk the crest of two hills.

Train for hills more.

My fitness, plain and simple.


This was my first race and it was a good learning experience for me. There were a lot of teams racing so it made things a little funny but it did spread out the race well. I had a damn good time, but realize I need to step up my training.
