Tri for Fun #1 Summer Duathlon Series - Duathlon

Felt really good on this run heart rate did get up pretty high though. I think I did most of this run on pure adreneline. I did walk through the aid station at the turnaround to get some water.

nothing my best time for a 3 mile run ever :)

tried to keep it simple took a drink a water put on shoes helmet and gloves and took off.

nothing I think it went well for my first transition ever

Wasn't sure how I was going to do on the bike, I haven't had that much time in the saddle recently. Course started off slightly downhill so it helped to build my confidence getting the speed up and actually passing people. About 6 miles in my calfs started cramping whenever I pushed it a little to hard. I was suprised I was able to keep the speed up and actually pass people on the hills. Overall I was very happy with bike leg even with all the cramping.

get more comfortable drinking on the bike, maybe get a camelback get more comfortable shifting between big and small chainring.

changed shoes fairly quickly, took a drink of cytomax and took off. Almost forgot my garmin and had to run back to the bike to get it.

learn how to jump off the bike while still moving. Not forget my garmin.

Now I know why they call them bricks, my legs never felt so heavy. Had to take about 4 walk breaks in between but still had enough for a 1/4 mile sprint to the finish

bring my fuel belt with me. do more,some, any bricks

drank some water walked around met up with ellismichael, madkat, cadreamer and a few others for a post race picnic. sorry if I missed anyone else I'm horrible with names. :O


30 extra pounds I'm carrying around. Not doing any bricks. not drinking enough on the bike.


This was a great event for my first Duathlon. I was hoping for about 2:15 based on my training times so almost breaking 2 hrs made all the training worth it. I think I'm hooked now :)
