Bluewater Duathlon - Sprint Course - DuathlonStandard

I didn't really know how fast I was going to be able to run but I thought I would be able to do the first run without any problem but it was tougher than I would have liked it to be (Partly because I didn't really train at all for the run) I had to run a lot slower than I would have liked to.

Make sure that I am warmed up more before the race start.

Learn to get on bike with bike shoes already on the bike.

First 15km were really good I was holding a much higher pace than I thought I could hold and wasn't to tired. The last 4km were really bad as both of my legs were very close to cramping. I could feel every time that I pushed down that my leg would almost cramp. I had to gear up really high so that my cadence was really low so that I didn't have to push down as often. I slowed down by a large amount in the last 4km.

Not to sure how to make sure my legs wouldn't cramp up I have never had that happen before but I would like to have it not happen in the future.

Run did not go very well as my legs were still really sore. I had to stop quite a bit to just stretch and make sure my legs didn't cramp up. Overall though I didn't feel to bad. If my legs were not cramping up I could have gone a lot faster. I wasn't tired at all I was just slowed down by my cramping legs.

Cramping legs!!!


Quite happy with the way it went considering I only really trained for about 2 weeks. I would like to do more of these in the future and actually train for them. I know I can do a lot better if I do so.
