Gear West Duathlon - DuathlonStandard

I wasn't really use to running on grass/trails in the recent training.

I would of done some trail running to get use to the difference in running.

I wasn't really rushing through the transition area

I would of picked a better line from run finish to bike and out onto the course.

The wind was a challenge,it was light at beginning and started to pick up. The wet surface didn't help my nerves running different wheel/tire combo then I train with. but overall was a good bike with the winds/wet surface. At about mile 15 I ran out of water and was ready to get back and get some water.
I dropped the bike as I was getting off and landed on my knee. lucky no damage to bike.


I would of went a little bit harder and attack more on the hills. I kinda zoned out and dropped speed when I should off been more focused on speed. And more fluids!!

The shot to my knee killed my T2 time, I had to rest and take some time to get shoes on.

Nothing really, kind of misfortune with the bike dismount to kill the time.

Running on the bum knee was slow to start, lost a lot of time and places right there. but as i got to half way point my knee got going and started to roll, but by that time my body was tired and wanted some fluids.

I would of drank more at the end of the bike so I would of been more hydrated on the run.

I walked it out and light jog. I was tired!


The whole wet cross-country running killed my time. I would of done a lot better if it was dry.


I enjoyed the race even it wasn't an A+ performance. I used the race to pretty much try out duathlon and wasnt out there to win. I was happy the rain held off until the races and awards was over too.
