Family Fitness Weekend Powerade Sprint Duathlon - Duathlon

Probably ran this part too fast. My best one mile had been 8 min and two mile was 17:30. Ran 1st mile in 6:30.

Pace better.

Trans was good.

work better with shoe change.

bike did not go as well as hoped. Could not get comforatable with gears. Average speed was about what I expected but did not realize others would be so much better. Need to increase avg mph by 2 to 3 miles

Just need more training on bike.

unstrapped shows before end of ride. worked well. legs felt like rubber off the bike and through Trans. I stopped to take a drink and let legs adjust.

drink more water on bike so I don't need to in trans. Train more running after bike! add different shoe laces for quicker tie.

This run was disappointing. I had hoped to finish in 27 min but just did not have enough left in the tank. More training will help with this.

Keep training. Running, especially more than a couple of miles is not something I have done much of, except for the past 12 weeks.
Better hydration and carb intake.

Did not take in much of my gator aid or gel on bike ride. Stomach felt upset.


This was my first race. I had trained for 12 weeks and met my goals which were to not finish last in my age group or in the first times. I was 5 out of 7 in age group and won first times (only one other person). But I got an award and had my name called! Ready for the next race!
