Comments: See above What would you do differently?: Lose 40 pounds  Transition 1
Comments: I went back to the transition before the race 2 or 3 times. I have never done a duathlon before and couldn't believe how little needed to be changed without a swim involved.  Bike
Comments: Started feeling a little queasy. Wasn't sure if the Gatorade and gu was getting to me or not. Cut back on gu and then probably didn't drink enough. What would you do differently?: Need to work on stomache issues. Transition 2
Comments: Smooth transition. Legs were happy to be off bike. Run
Comments: My legs felt fied so I pretty much gave up on hitting any real goals. I gave up too soon. I forgot from the past that I usually run much better off the bike than on a stand alone run, I'm not sure why. Anyway, I wanted to get under 1:55. With the heavy winds on the bike I gave up on that. Then I wanted under 2:00 hours. But I thought the way my legs felt I was doing 10-11 minute miles. Completely miised the 1 mile sign or I would have realized I was moving quicker. Decided at about 1.5 miles to do some walking and grab some water. Had a tough time getting going again. Realized at mile 2 I had been setting a decent pace(for me) and that I could have made it under 2 hours. Alas, I had wasted too much time. Live and learn. What would you do differently?: Never give up and take it easier. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and talked to my family and others. Eventually ran into Benihana and was able to talk to him for a little while. Saw Jim and he turned in another great performance. What limited your ability to perform faster: Will and determination. Event comments: Duathlons make me a little nervouse. Swimming is probably my best event and running my worst. But, I did enjoy this race and will probably do it again. Last updated: 2007-01-29 12:00 AM

Bookes a hotel online to get nice and close to the race. Turned out hotel was 25 minutes away from race site. Got up had a breakfast cookie and hung out for awhile.
Had Kelly with me to drop me off to get everything set up. Did some streching and talked to Jim (Birkierunner) and a few others I knew. Rode bike for awhile to see what was to come.
