Atomic Man Duathlon - DuathlonStandard

I run through these neighborhoods all the time and this course is difficult. Since I was familiar with the route I underestimated the difficulty.
I have been nursing right hip issues, what I am calling bursitis since the half mary and haven't run much. To throw 9 miles on one day on a difficult course was probably a mistake.
At about mile 4 I was definitely feeling the hip but gutted out the first run.

I am seeing a doctor about the hip and I probably should have worked in more short runs.

I figured my only chance was to hammer the bike since my hip was bothering me. I did and it was fun despite the shitty road. I live here and I always climb but never descend this route because it's rough.

Time includes T2 I guess. I missed my goal by 7 seconds because of the hip issue. I probably walked 5-6 minutes of this second run. What pisses me off is my fitness was not lacking my leg just hurt.

Walked around and talked to local tri club memebers


hip


This is course is not to be underestimated. It is hard. I wish my hip would have been a little better, I think I could have shaved 5 or more minutes off the time.
