  • Comments: 1.) Duathlon started at 8:25am. My official finishing time was 5:21. Actual estimated time if the first run was actually 7.5kms, adjusting by average speed based on total elapsed time would be 5:07. If I take off the 1 minute I wasted at the turnaround deciding what to do, it would be 5:06. Not bad since I was aiming for 4:50-4:55 ish before the race. 2.) I think I could've easily shaved 10 mins off my total time if my back was feeling better on the bike. But then, I somehow suffered through the bike with a relatively constant output, so that's debatable. However, I would've really saved the time on the run if my back felt better. 3.) Got a "False" medal for winning my AG since there were only 2 people! Nevertheless, I'll most likely not come close to winning another one, so I'm happy! :D

  • Comments: Enjoyed Welland although felt bad for Nate over running the course. It affected our team as Pete wasn't able to get out on time to really compete with the Big Boys, I think he would have liked that. Oh well next year we will train harder and be faster as a team.

  • Comments: Confusion with the Duathletes. Not fair that the first section of the race was neglected for them.
