Falls Duathlon - DuathlonStandard

Started out way too hard, did the first mile in 6:35 then realized I don't run that fast, backed off a bit for the rest of the first run.

Started off a little bit slower.

OK transition

Pretty pleased with the bike leg given the fact that It was pretty much my 3rd time out on the bike for the year, and the 2nd on the TT bike. Did the first half of the course pretty quickly, caught quite a few people, hit the turn around and suffered through the headwind for the rest of the race. Lost a few seconds near the end of the course because of an SUV that ended up stopping in front of me at the intersection being controlled by the police.

Lose the 10 pounds i've gained since last year. More practice on hills.

Hills, pain, cramping, suffering. At about mile 1 my mind was really telling me that it would probably be a good idea to just walk the rest of this thing.

Practice running on hills before doing a race like this. Practice running on hills before doing a race like this. Practice running on hills before doing a race like this.

Sat on the lawn and had lunch (hot dog, lemonade, chips)


Very little outdoor running practice, extra upper body weight from rock climbing.


Awesome event, probably one of the best duathlons put on in Minnesota.
