  • Comments: My first Duathlon. I am surprised at how much more effort it is than a triathlon at this sprint level. It's all lower body. Without the swim, the legs work twice as hard. There is really no upper body exertion here. Still, I'm thrilled. I came in 10 minutes faster than I thought I would. I was shooting for 1:30:00. Last year I never came in better than last in my age group (save for Suncoast which I was 28 of 32) and never came in above the bottom 25% in any race. This time I was at 54% in age group and 39% in the entire race. Plus with a Du being physically longer than a tri, I can count on my tri time coming WAY down from my personal best time of 1:24:23 last year to something around 1:12:00 or better...at least I HOPE so!!!
