Spring Fling Duathlon - DuathlonOther

Found it hard to start the run behind people. They would sorta line up three across and since their was traffic you had to wait to go around. But after that I wanted to try to pace myself so I would not be dead on the bike.

start more toward the front of the race on a du than at the back.

Transition was sorta packed as a lot of folks were coming in in packs. good amount of room. bikes were spaced with a lot of room in between

I think for my first real transition this went pretty good.

Started off good getting clipped in and off and going. Was passing my first person then my chain came off during a gear switch . Hopped off and went right back on then back on my way. Roads were good. Two good downhills then the wall I swear it seemed straight up. I was not to be stopped. got out of the seat and made my legs burn. Heart rate shot up to 192 on the climb but settled down after.

I need to work on my hills and get my rear derailleur set right.

Transition good was out of my clips and running or trying to. gear switch went better as not many people in the area. The bike spread them out pretty good.

I need to learn to stretch coming off the ride

route was the same. no changes.Had a hard time getting going as there was a hill at the end of the ride. I was able to get going about 1/2 mi into the run . felt good and strong at the end of the run. times were off as I had a hard time getting into rhythm

Need to stretch on my bike before the run. I need more bricks to get my legs going

walked and stretched.


nothing really. Being my first time out of the chute.


I think it was good. It was their first time for this du and it went well. But I have nothing to compare it to. I liked it
