  • Comments: This is a really good local race in its first year. They did a great job for the frist year. I got some $$ for placing overall which was cool! Duathlons hurt more than triathlons!! A lot more!! Your legs are already tired when you get on the bike. Not even close to coming out of a wet suit swim where you barely have to kick! I'll stick to triathlons, but I will certainly "Du the Du" next year!" In the end, to be honest, I expected to win today. Yes, this is a small local race, that reality is not lost. Coming to a race and expecting to win is a rather interesting feeling. First, it is extremely uneasy and it's a lot of pressure. But, as soon as the horn sounded, it instantly vanished. Kind of strange. Also, there is positive that I lost, by 3:24, a good margin in a race this short. It shows me both how far I've come, and how much further I need to go at the same time. For some reason, that reality deeply motivates me and excites me.

  • Comments: Being a first year event, I thought overall this was a good race. Relaxed and low-key is always nice. It will be even better next year, I'm sure.
