Comments: Did my first duathlon of the season. I had to get up at 5 AM and drive 1.5 hours to get there - the entire way down I had that little voice inside me that kept telling me to turn around, go home, and go back to bed. Since it was 40 degrees and raining (and I had only put in 14 miles on my new bike), my "gut" did not sound that crazy on this occassion. In addition, I have never really ridden in the rain... When I finally got there and got out off the car, I was shocked at how cold it was (yet another reason to turn around!). All this anxiety was festering in me. It had been there for at least a couple of days. Two days before I had contemplated pulling out because my new pedal system and shoes were too "slippery" and not as easy to dismount from as my old SPD style clips. At that point, I had a "heart-to-heart" with myself. Was I really that person who had lost 60 pounds? Had I really become a runner? Even after a season of sprints (and one olympic), could I really consider myself a triathlete?

Comments: This was a great small race. It was well organized and a fun course. There was never any doubt about which direction to go and they did a great job with traffic control. I would definately do this race again.
