Tri The Parks Duathlon Richard Russell State Park - DuathlonStandard

First mile pace was entirely too fast -- sub 5 min pace. No use trying to catch up with the fast runners. Slowed down considerably and ran my race. No stress, it was an easy run.

Should maintain a strong start, taper down mid course and next time MUST increase run tempo one mile before finishing!

First race of the season -- kinda rusty during the transition. It was average at best.

More motivation and move faster.

Dissappointing! The first 8 mile was fantastic until both my calves decided to cramp up -- I was biking average 22mph. Unfortunately I had to abandon my race plan and preserve my calves to complete the entire race. I was forcing myself to hydrate and maintain composure. I am amazed that I actually completed the bike course. It was a long ride!

Nothing -- put in more ride time for stronger engine. The new bike definitely made a difference in overall performance. Now, I just need to log more workout time. It has been an off training season so far.

SLOW! I was trying not to aggrevate the calves. Taking it easy and see where the legs take me .....

nothing

First loop -- 23:25; second loop -- 24:29

It was my longest run since this January so I have no complaints. The overall pace was faster that I expected. A good effort to complete the race and block out the bad bike ride. Last minute citing of duathletes in the run course did motivate me to run faster -- so that was nice.

I should pick up pace during the last turn around of the course. I should not have given up so early.

Hydrate and hydrate


Lack of training


I redeemed my race time this year from last year's hellish mistake/injury. I was happy overall with my performance. However, I was dissappointed with the total duathletes attending this race. My first race podium -- which is a competition milestone for me -- 2nd AG. Next year, my goal is to complete this race in 2:05. I have my work cut out for me.......
